2 quis loquetur potentias Domini auditas faciet omnes laudes eius
Who can recount the mighty acts of Yahweh or proclaim in full all his praiseworthy deeds?

7 patres nostri in Aegypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua non fuerunt memores multitudinis misericordiae tuae et inritaverunt ascendentes in mare mare; Rubrum
Our fathers did not appreciate your marvelous deeds in Egypt; they ignored your many acts of covenant faithfulness; they were rebellious at the sea, the Sea of Reeds.
8 et salvavit eos propter nomen suum ut notam faceret potentiam suam
Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake so that he might reveal his power.
9 et increpuit mare Rubrum et exsiccatum est et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto
He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up. Then he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

23 et dixit ut disperderet eos si non Moses electus eius stetisset in confractione in conspectu eius ut averteret iram eius ne disperderet eos
So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his anger from destroying them.
24 et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem non crediderunt verbo eius

but grumbled in their tents, and did not obey Yahweh.
26 et elevavit manum suam super eos ut prosterneret eos in deserto
