1-14 Lipit-Eshtar, proud king, enthroned prince, most seemly offshoot of kingship, who walks like the sun, brilliant light of the Land, lofty in nobility, riding on the great powers; who settles the people in the four quarters; favoured by the Lord, trustworthy youth with shining eyes, worthy of the throne-dais, whose seemly head is adorned with the tiara, the good headdress, who holds in his hand the sceptre over the black-headed, prince Lipit-Eshtar, servant of the Lord, wise shepherd, who leads the people to let them relax in pleasant shade, lord, great bison, beloved! Your trust is put in God; Lipit-Eshtar, you exert great power.

15-24 You, who speak as sweet as honey, whose name suits the mouth, to whom God gave broad wisdom as a gift! Wisdom, the radiant true guide, the scribe, who knows everything, guides your fingers on the clay: she makes them put beautiful wedges on the tablets and adorns them with a golden stylus. God generously bestowed upon you the measuring rod, the surveyor's gleaming line, the yardstick, and the tablets which confer wisdom.

25-39 Lipit-Eshtar, servant of the Lord, you have realized justice and righteousness. Lord, your goodness covers everything as far as the horizon. King Lipit-Eshtar, counsellor with huge intelligence, who never tires of discussion, wise one whose decisions guide the people, amply wise, knowing everything in great detail! To decide justly the lawsuits of foreign countries, you recognize true and false even in people's thoughts. Lipit-Eshtar, you ... the wicked, but you also know how to save someone by commuting his death sentence; you know how to free someone from the severe punishment, from the jaws of destruction. The mighty do not commit robbery and the strong do not abuse the weak anymore: you have established justice in Sumer and Akkad and made the Land feel content.

40-50 Lipit-Eshtar, king of Isin, king of Sumer and Akkad, you are the tablet writer of Nibru; Lipit-Eshtar, you are the constant attendant of the Great House. You are the beloved one of the Lord's heart. The hero is your mighty commissioner. The chief minister is your aid in all matters. You have been rightly chosen as the purification priest of Kesh. When in Urim, you are the youth who has the attention of the Giver of Light. You are the one to whom God gave the good headdress in Eridug. In Unug, Lipit-Eshtar, you are a delight of heart. In Isin, the lofty throne-dais was set up for you.

51-56 Among joyful songs of the heart, in an auspicious regnal year, the prince, the powerful prince surpassing in greatness and majesty, your father Ishme-Dagan, king of the Land, made the foundations of his throne firm for you. On the orders of the Most High and the Lord, he silenced the loud strife of the foreign countries.

57-63 Lipit-Eshtar, servant of the Lord, you have made every mouth speak of your righteousness. The tablets will forever speak your praise in the house of tablets. May the scribes ... and glorify you greatly! May eulogies of you never cease in the house of tablets! Perfect shepherd, youthful servant of the Lord, Lipit-Eshtar, be praised!
