Psalms 108:12

108:12 Give us help against the enemy,

for any help men might offer is futile.

Psalms 124:1-3

Psalm 124

A song of ascents, by David.

124:1 “If the Lord had not been on our side” –

let Israel say this! –

124:2 if the Lord had not been on our side,

when men attacked us,

124:3 they would have swallowed us alive,

when their anger raged against us.

Psalms 146:3

146:3 Do not trust in princes,

or in human beings, who cannot deliver!

Isaiah 30:7

30:7 Egypt is totally incapable of helping.

For this reason I call her

‘Proud one who is silenced.’”

Isaiah 31:3

31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;

their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.

The Lord will strike with his hand;

the one who helps will stumble

and the one being helped will fall.

Together they will perish.
