¹¹ Oh, grant us help against the foe,
    for ^(A)vain is the salvation of man!

¹² Oh grant us help against the foe,
    for vain is the salvation of man!

⁸ And he will ^(A)redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.

124 ^(B)If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
    ^(C)let Israel now say—
² if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
    when people rose up against us,
³ then they would have ^(D)swallowed us up alive,
    when their anger was kindled against us;

³ The Egyptians are man, and not God,
    and their horses ^(A)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.

⁷ Egypt's ^(A)help is worthless and empty;
    therefore I have called her
    ^(B)“Rahab who sits still.”

62 For God alone ^(B)my soul ^(C)waits in silence;
    from him comes my salvation.
