Who is this that rises like the Nile,
    whose banks overflow?[a]
It’s Egypt that rises like the Nile,
    whose banks overflow,[b]
        who declares, “I will arise
        and cover the earth
        and destroy cities and inhabitants.”
Charge, you horses;
    advance, you chariots!
Attack, you soldiers
    with your shield in hand,
        you people of Cush and Put[c]
            with your bow drawn,
        you archers from Lud.
