Original text and translations

German text Ex 15:2  Der Herr ist meine Stärke und mein Lobgesang, und mein Heil. Das ist mei Gott, ich will ihn preisen; er ist meines Vaters Gott, ich will ihn erheben. Ex 15:11  Herr, wer ist dir gleich unter den Göttern, der so mächtig, so heilig, so schrecklich, so löblich, so wundertätig ist? Ps 104:33  Ich will dem Herrn singen mein Leben lang und meinen Gott loben so lang ich hie bin.

English translation Ex 15:2  The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. Ex 15:11  Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Ps 104:33  I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
