Reading: Psalm 31:1-5

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
You alone are my rock
and my eternal fortress.
Guide my spirit into the right path today.
Keep me safe from the traps of the enemy.
I trust in you, Lord.
Amen.

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD:

“I will sing to the LORD,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver
he has hurled into the sea.
“The LORD is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
The LORD is a warrior;
the LORD is his name.
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army
he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
are drowned in the Red Sea.
The deep waters have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone.
Your right hand, LORD,
was majestic in power.
Your right hand, LORD,
shattered the enemy.
(Exodus 17:1-6), NIV)*
