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