Remember me, Lord, as you remember your people, and visit me with your gracious help.

May I see the good fortune of your elect, may I share in the joy of your nation, and in the pride of your heritage.

We, like our fathers, have sinned, we have done perversely and wickedly

In the land of Egypt our fathers, all heedless of your wonders, and unmindful of your great kindness, at the Red Sea defied the Most High.

But true to his name he saved them, in order to show his might.
9 Tuipui kathim to a zoeh naah, tui to kang boih; praezaek ah caeh baktih toengah, nihcae to a caeh haih.
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried; they marched through the depths as through desert,

The waters covered their enemies: not one of them was left.
12 To naah nihcae mah a thuih ih loknawk to tang o moe, anih saphawhaih laa to a sak o.
So then they believed in his words, and began to sing his praise.
13 Toe nasetto doeh akra ai ah anih mah sak ih hmuennawk to pahnet o let; anih mah thuih ih lok to zing o ai,
But soon they forgot his deeds: they did not wait for his counsel.
14 toe caaknaek koeh hmoekhaih hoiah praezaek ah khosak o moe, praezaek ah Sithaw to tanoek o.
Their greed was ravenous in the desert; they put God to the test in the wilderness.

They forgot the God who had saved them by mighty deeds in Egypt
22 Ham prae ah dawnrai hmuennawk kasah, tuipui kathim taengah zitthok hmuennawk kasah, angmacae pahlongkung Sihtaw to pahnet o ving boeh.
Wonders in the land of Ham, terrors by the Red Sea.

So he vowed, and would have destroyed them, but for Moses his elect, who stepped into the breach before him, to divert his deadly wrath.

They provoked him to wrath by their deeds, and plague broke out among them.
30 Toe Phinehas loe angthawk moe, nihcae abomh hanah salakah angdoet pongah, nathaih to amkhap pae duk.
Then Phinehas stood between, and so the plague was stayed;
31 To tiah a sak ih hmuen pongah anih loe angzo han koi adung kaminawk boih mah kami katoeng ni, tiah dungzan khoek to thuih o.
and it was counted to him for righteousness unto all generations forever.

They poured out innocent blood the blood of their sons and daughters whom they offered to Canaan’s idols, and the land was polluted with blood.
39 A sak o ih hmuennawk hoiah angmacae to amhnong o sak; a sak o ih hmuennawk hoiah tangyat zaw kami ah angcoeng o.
They became unclean by their works, and adulterous in their deeds.
40 To pongah Angraeng loe angmah ih kaminawk nuiah palungphui, angmah ih qawktoep koi kaminawk doeh panuet.
Then the Lord’s fury was on his people, filled with horror at his inheritance.
41 To pongah nihcae to Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ban ah a paek, a hnukma ih kaminawk mah nihcae to uk.
