Cantémus Dómino: glorióse enim magnificátus est, * equum et ascensórem dejécit in mare.
2  Fortitúdo mea, et laus mea Dóminus, * et factus est mihi in salútem.
3  Iste Deus meus, et glorificábo eum: * Deus patris mei, et exaltábo eum.
4  Dóminus quasi vir pugnátor, (fit reverentia) Omnípotens nomen ejus. * Currus Pharaónis et exércitum ejus projécit in mare.
5  Elécti príncipes ejus submérsi sunt in mari Rubro: * abyssi operuérunt eos, descendérunt in profúndum quasi lapis.
6  Déxtera tua, Dómine, magnificáta est in fortitúdine: déxtera tua, Dómine, percússit inimícum. * Et in multitúdine glóriæ tuæ deposuísti adversários meos.
7  Misísti iram tuam, quæ devorávit eos sicut stípulam. * Et in spíritu furóris tui congregátæ sunt aquæ:
8  Stetit unda fluens, * congregátæ sunt abyssi in médio mari.
9  Dixit inimícus: Pérsequar et comprehéndam, * dívidam spólia, implébitur ánima mea:
10  Evaginábo gládium meum, * interfíciet eos manus mea.
11  Flavit spíritus tuus, et opéruit eos mare: * submérsi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis veheméntibus.
12  Quis símilis tui in fórtibus, Dómine? * quis símilis tui, magníficus in sanctitáte, terríbilis atque laudábilis, fáciens mirabília?
13  Extendísti manum tuam, et devorávit eos terra. * Dux fuísti in misericórdia tua pópulo quem redemísti:
14  Et portásti eum in fortitúdine tua, * ad habitáculum sanctum tuum.
15  Ascendérunt pópuli, et iráti sunt: * dolóres obtinuérunt habitatóres Philísthiim.
16  Tunc conturbáti sunt príncipes Edom, robústos Moab obtínuit tremor: * obriguérunt omnes habitatóres Chánaan.
17  Irruat super eos formído et pavor, * in magnitúdine bráchii tui:
18  Fiant immóbiles quasi lapis, donec pertránseat pópulus tuus, Dómine, * donec pertránseat pópulus tuus iste, quem possedísti.
19  Introdúces eos, et plantábis in monte hereditátis tuæ, * firmíssimo habitáculo tuo quod operátus es, Dómine.
20  Sanctuárium tuum, Dómine, quod firmavérunt manus tuæ. * Dóminus regnábit in ætérnum et ultra.
21  Ingréssus est enim eques Phárao cum cúrribus et equítibus ejus in mare: * et redúxit super eos Dóminus aquas maris:
22  Fílii autem Israël ambulavérunt per siccum * in médio ejus.
Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

Translated Lyrics: 

Let us sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously magnified; * the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2  The Lord is my strength and my praise, * and to me he is become salvation.
3  This is mine own God, and I will glorify him; * the God of my father, and I will exalt him.
4  The Lord is a mighty man of war, (all bow) Almighty is his Name. * Pharaoh's chariots and his host did he cast into the Sea.
5  Yea, even his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea: * the depths have covered them, they went down to the bottom like a stone.
6  Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength; thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy. * And in the multitude of thy glory hast thou put down mine adversaries.
7  Thou hast sent forth thy wrath, and it hath consumed them as stubble. * And with the blast of thine anger the waters were gathered together.
8  The flowing water stood upright : * the depths were gathered together in the midst of the sea.
9  The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, * I will divide the spoils; my soul shall have its fill.
10  I will draw my sword, * my hand shall slay them.
11  Thou hast blown with thy breath, and the sea did cover them; * they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
12  Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty? * who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praiseworthiness, performing wondrous things?
13  Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth did swallow them; * in thy mercy thou hast been a leader unto the people which thou hast redeemed.
14  And in thy strength thou hast carried them, * even unto thy holy habitation.
15  Nations rose up, and were angry; * sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Palestine.
16  Then were the princes of Edom dismayed; trembling seized on the mighty men of Moab; * all the inhabitants of Canaan did become stiff.
17  Let fear and dread fall upon them; * in the greatness of thine arm.
18  Let them be as still as a stone * till thy people pass over, O Lord, which thou hast possessed.
19  For thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, * in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord.
20  Even thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established; * the Lord shall reign from one eternity to another.
21  For Pharaoh went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea, * and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them.
22  But the children of Israel, they did walk on dry land * in the midst thereof. 
Here is not said Glory be.
