Who is this that (A)rises like the Nile,
Like the rivers whose waters surge?
Egypt rises like the Nile,
And like the rivers whose waters surge;
And He has said, “I will (B)rise and cover that land;
I will (C)destroy the city and its inhabitants.”
Go up, you horses, and [a](D)drive wildly, you chariots,
So that the warriors may [b]march forward:
[c]Cush and [d](E)Put, who handle the shield,
And the [e](F)Lydians, who handle and bend the bow.
