Which was situated by the (B)waters of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart was [b]the sea,
Whose wall consisted of [c]the sea?

And Egypt too, without limits.
(D)Put and (E)Lubim were among [d]her helpers.

Also her (G)small children were dashed to pieces
(H)At the head of every street;
They (I)cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with fetters.
