O Adonai,
et dux domus Israel,
qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti,
et ei in Sina legem dedisti:
veni ad redimentum nos in brachio extento.
O Adonai,
and Leader of The House of Israel,
who didst appear to Moses

and didst give unto him The Law on Sinai:
come and with an outstretched arm redeem us.
