Harness the horses,
    mount the steeds!
Take your positions
    with helmets on!
Polish(A) your spears,
    put on your armor!(B)

In the north by the River Euphrates(F)
    they stumble and fall.(G)

Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
