          <english>Then Moses and the people Israel sang unto Adonai this song: I shall sing to Adonai, for He has triumphed gloriously, hurling horse and rider into the sea. Adonai is my power and my might; God is my salvation. This is my God, whom I glorify—the God of my forebears, whom I exalt. Adonai is a man of war; God’s name is Adonai. God has hurled Pharaoh’s chariots and host into the sea; the choicest of Pharaoh’s captains lie drowned in the Sea of Reeds. The deeps covered them; they sank like a stone in the abyss. Your right hand, Adonai, splendid in power—Your right hand, Adonai, dashes the foe to pieces. In Your majestic power You smash Your foes; You unleash Your fury, consuming them like straw. At the blast of Your rage the waters piled up; the sea stood still; the vast deep grew firm. The foe said: “I shall pursue, I shall overtake and plunder! I shall devour them, I shall draw my sword. With my own hand will I destroy them.” You sent forth the wind—the waters covered them. Like lead they sank amid the surging waters. Who is like You, Adonai, among the celestials? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor, working wonders? You stretched forth Your hand—the earth swallowed them. In Your kindness You lead the people You redeemed; by Your strength You guide them toward Your holy habitation.</english>

          <text>ON THAT DAY ADONAI SAVED וַיּוֹשַׁע. In Exodus, these verses form the introduction to the Song at the Sea and so they are quoted here.</text>

          <text>THE SONG AT THE SEA שִׁירַת הַיָּם. The recitation of the Song at the Sea is a later addition to P’sukei D’zimra and is not found in 1st-millennium orders of prayer, which included only psalms. The experience of the long exile may have created the need to include this triumphant song in each morning’s service. The midrash associates this song with the final redemption and interprets its first word, az (“then”), as Moses’ prophetic pronouncement that it would be sung in the future—since the verb yashir, understood in rabbinic Hebrew as “sang,” is actually a future tense (Mekhilta, Shirata 1).</text>

          <type>Commentary</type>
          <text>THIS IS MY GOD זֶה אֵלִי. Rabbinic tradition saw in the miracle of the Sea a moment of divine manifestation greater than either the exodus itself or even the revelation at Sinai. “Even a maidservant at the Sea saw God more clearly than the greatest of the prophets!” (Mekhilta, Shirata 3).</text>

          <type>Commentary</type>
          <text>ADONAI IS A WARRIOR; GOD’S NAME IS ADONAI יְהוָה אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה יְהוָה שְׁמוֹ. The entire poem emphasizes God’s role as warrior, triumphing over Israel’s enemies. On the phrase “God’s name is Adonai,” the ancient rabbis remarked that God appears in many different guises: here as a warrior, elsewhere as a sage. No matter how varied God’s manifestations, “God’s name is Adonai”—the one God is always the same (Mekhilta, Shirata 4). The deliverer from oppression, the warrior who fights injustice, is the God of compassion.</text>

          <text>I Will Sing Sometimes we sing to ourselves—no one else hears the sound, yet our minds are singing. Sometimes we sing—our vocal chords voice a tune, and all can hear it and recognize it. And sometimes we sing and every cell of our bodies contains the song. Such songs transform both the singer and the listener. That is the way that the people Israel sang as they were saved, in crossing the Sea. —NETIVOT SHALOM</text>

          <type>MarginNote</type>
          <text>Moses and the People Israel Sang Tradition understood Moses and the Israelites to have sung this song as call and response (antiphonal singing)—Moses would sing, and the people would respond. In some communities to this day, the verses are sung antiphonally. Call and response demands both inward and outward participation. We first participate inwardly, listening to the leader’s voice as it interprets the words. We then respond outwardly, assenting to and building on what we’ve heard. But even as we raise our voices in song, we continue to listen, to hear the voices around us, so that our communal response is harmonious and the sound of the song is full. We hear and are heard, careful not to overwhelm one another, ensuring that even the smallest voice is not drowned out. As the leader evokes our song, so too do each of us affirm and amplify each other’s voice. —MICHAEL BOINO</text>
