Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
The Egyptians are man, and not God, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out his hand, the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall, and they will all perish together.
Egypt’s help is worthless and empty; therefore I have called her “Rahab who sits still.”
For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
