אָבֶן: יְמִינְךָ יְיָ נֶאְדָּרִי בַּכֹּחַ,
יְמִינְךָ יְיָ תִּרְעַץ אוֹיֵב:
וּבְרֹב גְּאוֹנְךָ תַּהֲרֹס קָמֶיךָ,
תְּשַׁלַּח חֲרֹנְךָ יֹאכְלֵמוֹ כַּקַּשׁ:
וּבְרוּחַ אַפֶּיךָ נֶעֶרְמוּ מַיִם,
נִצְּבוּ כְמוֹ נֵד נוֹזְלִים, קָפְאוּ
תְהֹמֹת בְּלֶב יָם: אָמַר אוֹיֵב,
אֶרְדֹּף אַשִּׂיג אֲחַלֵּק שָׁלָל,
תִּמְלָאֵמוֹ נַפְשִׁי, אָרִיק
חַרְבִּי, תּוֹרִישֵׁמוֹ יָדִי: נָשַׁפְתָּ
בְרוּחֲךָ כִּסָּמוֹ יָם, צָלְלוּ
כַּעוֹפֶרֶת בְּמַיִם אַדִּירִים:

of the Sea of Reeds, and the deep waters covered them. They dropped quickly into the deepest parts of the sea like a stone. Lord, Your right hand is very strong. It is adorned with strength. Lord, Your right hand crushes the enemy and saves the Jewish Nation. With Your great majesty, You destroy those who rise up to fight against You or against the Jewish Nation, Your people. When You send Your anger toward Your enemies, it consumes them like straw being burned by fire. With the blast of wind from Your nostrils, the waters of the sea piled up, the flowing streams of water stood up straight like a wall, and the deep waters became hard in the heart of the sea. When the Jewish Nation left Egypt, their enemy, Pharaoh, said to the Egyptian army, “I will chase them, I will catch up to them, and I will divide the possessions that I take from them and distribute them. I will fulfill my heart’s desire by bringing them back to Egypt. I will take out my sword from its case, and I will destroy them with my hand.” But when Pharaoh and the Egyptians tried to destroy the Jewish Nation, You blew with Your wind and the sea covered them. They sank quickly like heavy lead in the powerful waters.
Hebrew
מִי כָמֹכָה בָּאֵלִם יְיָ, מִי
כָּמֹכָה נֶאְדָּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ, נוֹרָא
תְהִלֹּת, עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא: נָטִיתָ
יְמִינְךָ, תִּבְלָעֵמוֹ אָרֶץ: נָחִיתָ
בְחַסְדְּךָ עַם זוּ גָאָלְתָּ, נֵהַלְתָּ
בְעָזְּךָ אֶל נְוֵה קָדְשֶׁךָ: שָׁמְעוּ

יֹשְׁבֵי פְּלָשֶׁת: אָז נִבְהֲלוּ
אַלּוּפֵי אֱדוֹם, אֵילֵי מוֹאָב
יֹאחֲזֵמוֹ רָעַד, נָמֹגוּ כֹּל
יֹשְׁבֵי כְנָעַן: תִּפֹּל עֲלֵיהֶם
אֵימָתָה וָפַחַד, בִּגְדֹל
זְרוֹעֲךָ יִדְּמוּ כָּאָבֶן, עַד
יַעֲבֹר עַמְּךָ יְיָ, עַד יַעֲבֹר
עַם זוּ קָנִיתָ: תְּבִאֵמוֹ
וְתִטָּעֵמוֹ בְּהַר נַחֲלָתְךָ, מָכוֹן
לְשִׁבְתְּךָ פָּעַלְתָּ יְיָ, מִקְּדָשׁ אֲדֹנָי,
כּוֹנְנוּ יָדֶיךָ: יְיָ יִמְלֹךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:<sup>1</sup>
יְיָ יִמְלֹךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד: יְיָ מַלְכוּתֵהּ קָאֵם

Who from among all the great and powerful creations is like You, Lord? Who is like You, God? You are adorned with holiness. The wonders that You do are so awesome that they cannot be sufficiently praised. You stretched out Your right hand and the earth swallowed the Egyptians. With Your kindness, You led this nation that You redeemed. You gave the Jewish Nation a pillar of fire and clouds to lead them through the desert. You guided us with Your strength to the Holy Temple, Your holy home. The nations heard about Your great strength and trembled with fear. A great fear took hold of the people who lived in the land of Philistia. At that time, the leaders of Edom were panicked, and the mighty men of Moab were gripped by trembling, afraid that God would punish them for complaining about the honor the Jewish Nation was receiving. All the people who lived in the land of Canaan melted away. May terror and fear fall upon our enemies. With the great strength of Your arm, God, let them become as still as a stone. Lord, let them be like stone, until Your nation, the Jewish Nation, crosses over the Arnon river, which flows into the Land of Israel, until this nation, which You took possession of, crosses over the Jordan River. You will bring them to the Land of Israel and plant them firmly and securely on the Temple Mount, Your heritage that You gave them; it is the place that You, Lord, made for Yourself to rest Your Divine Presence—the Sanctuary that You, Lord, set up with Your hands. Then, when we are in the Land of Israel and the Holy Temple is built, everyone will recognize that the Lord will rule as king forever and ever.<sup>1</sup> The Lord will rule as king forever and ever. The Lord’s rulership as king is established and will last forever and ever.
Hebrew
כִּי בָא סוּס פַּרְעֹה בְּרִכְבּוֹ
וּבְפָרָשָׁיו בַּיָּם וַיָּשֶׁב יְיָ עֲלֵהֶם אֶת
מֵי הַיָּם, וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָלְכוּ בַיַּבָּשָׁה

When Pharaoh’s horses, with his chariots and horsemen, went into the sea, the Lord turned the waters of the sea back onto them and they drowned. At the same time, the Children of Israel walked on dry land through the sea.
Hebrew
כִּי לַיָי הַמְּלוּכָה וּמֹשֵׁל בַּגּוֹיִם:
וְעָלוּ מוֹשִׁעִים בְּהַר צִיּוֹן לִשְׁפֹּט
אֶת הַר עֵשָׂו, וְהָיְתָה לַיָי הַמְּלוּכָה:
וְהָיָה יְיָ לְמֶלֶךְ עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ, בַּיּוֹם
הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְיָ אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד:<sup>2</sup>
Sephardi
Ki la-Adonai ham'luchah umoshel bagoyim:
v’alu moshi’im b'har Tziyon lishpot
et har Esav, v'hayetah la-Adonai ham'luchah:
vehayah Adonai l’melech al kol ha'aretz, bayom
hahu yihyeh Adonai echad ushemo echad:<sup>2</sup>
English
The power to rule as king belongs to the Lord. God rules over the nations even if they don’t want Him as their King. When the Redemption arrives, our saviors—the Jewish leaders—will go up to Mount Zion in Jerusalem to judge the people of the mountain of Esau—the non-Jews—for everything they have done to us during exile. All the nations will then recognize that the power to rule as king belongs only to the Lord. The Lord will be King over the entire earth. On that day, when the Redemption arrives, the Lord will be One, and His name will be One.<sup>2</sup>
