2 His heart prompted him, and he pondered a wise plan.

3 He opened his mouth and unto Ea he spake,

4 That which he had conceived in his heart he imparted unto him:

7 "Man shall be created, who shall inhabit the earth,

8 "That the service of God alone may be established, and that houses of worship may be built."

145 They seated themselves, and in the assembly they named his praises,

146 They all cried aloud, they gave thanks to God.
