7 Et in multitudine gloriæ tuæ deposuisti adversarios tuos : misisti iram tuam, quæ devoravit eos sicut stipulam.	7 In your great majesty you overthrew your adversaries; you loosed your wrath to consume them like stubble.
8 Et in spiritu furoris tui congregatæ sunt aquæ : stetit unda fluens, congregata sunt abyssi in medio mari.	8 At a breath of your anger the waters piled up, the flowing waters stood like a mound, the flood waters congealed in the midst of the sea.
9 Dixit inimicus : Persequar et comprehendam, dividam spolia, implebitur anima mea : evaginabo gladium meum, interficiet eos manus mea.	9 The enemy boasted, "I will pursue and overtake them; I will divide the spoils and have my fill of them; I will draw my sword; my hand shall despoil them!"
10 Flavit spiritus tuus, et operuit eos mare : submersi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis vehementibus.	10 When your wind blew, the sea covered them; like lead they sank in the mighty waters.
11 Quis similis tui in fortibus, Domine ? quis similis tui, magnificus in sanctitate, terribilis atque laudabilis, faciens mirabilia ?	11 Who is like to you among the gods, O LORD? Who is like to you, magnificent in holiness? O terrible in renown, worker of wonders,
12 Extendisti manum tuam, et devoravit eos terra.	12 when you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them!

16 Irruat super eos formido et pavor, in magnitudine brachii tui : fiant immobiles quasi lapis, donec pertranseat populus tuus, Domine, donec pertranseat populus tuus iste, quem possedisti.	16 terror and dread fell upon them. By the might of your arm they were frozen like stone, while your people, O LORD, passed over, while the people you had made your own passed over.
17 Introduces eos, et plantabis in monte hæreditatis tuæ, firmissimo habitaculo tuo quod operatus es, Domine : sanctuarium tuum, Domine, quod firmaverunt manus tuæ.	17 And you brought them in and planted them on the mountain of your inheritance-- the place where you made your seat, O LORD, the sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands established.
18 Dominus regnabit in æternum et ultra.	18 The LORD shall reign forever and ever.
19 Ingressus est enim eques Pharao cum curribus et equitibus ejus in mare : et reduxit super eos Dominus aquas maris : filii autem Israël ambulaverunt per siccum in medio ejus.	19 They sang thus because Pharaoh's horses and chariots and charioteers had gone into the sea, and the LORD made the waters of the sea flow back upon them, though the Israelites had marched on dry land through the midst of the sea.

21 quibus præcinebat, dicens : Cantemus Domino, gloriose enim magnificatus est : equum et ascensorem ejus dejecit in mare.	21 and she led them in the refrain: Sing to the LORD, for he is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot he has cast into the sea.
22 Tulit autem Moyses Israël de mari Rubro, et egressi sunt in desertum Sur : ambulaveruntque tribus diebus per solitudinem, et non inveniebant aquam.	22 Then Moses led Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they marched out to the desert of Shur. After traveling for three days through the desert without finding water,
23 Et venerunt in Mara, nec poterant bibere aquas de Mara, eo quod essent amaræ : unde et congruum loco nomen imposuit, vocans illum Mara, id est, amaritudinem.	23 they arrived at Marah, where they could not drink the water, because it was too bitter. Hence this place was called Marah.
24 Et murmuravit populus contra Moysen, dicens : Quid bibemus ?	24 As the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?"
25 At ille clamavit ad Dominum, qui ostendit ei lignum : quod cum misisset in aquas, in dulcedinem versæ sunt : ibi constituit ei præcepta, atque judicia, et ibi tentavit eum,	25 he appealed to the LORD, who pointed out to him a certain piece of wood. When he threw this into the water, the water became fresh.It was here that the LORD, in making rules and regulations for them, put them to the test.
26 dicens : Si audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et quod rectum est coram eo feceris, et obedieris mandatis ejus, custodierisque omnia præcepta illius, cunctum languorem, quem posui in Ægypto, non inducam super te : ego enim Dominus sanator tuus.	26 "If you really listen to the voice of the LORD, your God," he told them, "and do what is right in his eyes: if you heed his commandments and keep all his precepts, I will not afflict you with any of the diseases with which I afflicted the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer."
