In this song of Moses and Miriam we have only the lyrics. It would be interesting to know the melody that was partnered with it
As you spend time with this song once again, consider how you would sing it.

Exodus 15:1–3, 11–13, 17–18, 20–21 (NRSVue)
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:
“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and my might,
and he has become my salvation;
this 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.Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in splendor, doing wonders?
You stretched out your right hand;
the earth swallowed them.In your steadfast love you led the people whom you redeemed;
you guided them by your strength to your holy abode.You brought them in and planted them on the mountain of your own possession,
the place, O Lord, that you made your abode,
the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.
The Lord will reign forever and ever.”Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing. And Miriam sang to them:
“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.”

Have I left out a type/form you like? Or, an instrument you prefer?
Take a few moments and allow yourself to hear some music that helps you come to a place of worship. Some may want to physically listen to music, others may find music rising in your mind and spirit without hearing any external sounds.
Take your time to rest in a spirit of worship.
