Impetum inimicorum ne timueritis:
memores estote
quomodo salvi facti sunt patres nostri,
in mari rubro
et nunc clamemus in coelum
et miserebitur nostri Dominus Deus noster.

English Translation

You should not fear the attack of enemies:
be mindful
how our fathers were saved
in the Red Sea,
and now let us cry to heaven
and the Lord our God will have mercy on us.
