10 You sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh,
    against all of his officials,
and against all the people of his land,
    because you knew they acted arrogantly against your people.[a]
So you established your name with them,
    as it remains to this day.
11 You divided the sea in front of them,
    and they traveled through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
You hurled their pursuers into the depths,
    as one throws[b] a stone into turbulent waters.
12 You led them during the day by a pillar of cloud,
    and by a pillar of fire at night
to provide light for them
    on the path they took.
