1-2 The august Lord, pre-eminent, with the most complex powers, almighty above all the lords --

4-9 -- head high, surpassing everyone, who makes the seeds sprout, whose name is respected, spreading great terror, whose august commands cannot be countermanded, who is imbued with awesomeness on the mountain of pure powers, who has taken His seat on the great throne-dais, the King of kings --

11-18 -- has looked at him with long-lasting favour, has looked at prince Lipit-Eshtar with favour. He has bestowed on him a long life, He has bestowed on prince Lipit-Eshtar a long life. The words of what the Most High says are firmly established; nothing would oppose them. At the place where the destinies are to be decided, all the angels gather around Him.

20-21 He has made all the great powers manifest; the angels of heaven stand around Him.

23-28 He has implemented their divine plans properly; the angels of the earth submit themselves to Him. With august and foremost powers, the Great One has bestowed on Lipit-Eshtar, servant of the Lord, a kingship which is very precious.

30-31 The Great, the great One shining forth, the Almighty, is indeed the support of king Lipit-Eshtar.

33-52 In the overflowing of His heart, He has chosen him as king and blessed the royal descendant: "Lipit-Eshtar, on whom I bestowed power, may you lift your head high! May you spread fearsome radiance as if you were the front of a rising tempest! May your storm cover the enemy territories, the disobedient countries! You have established justice in Sumer and Akkad, and made the Land feel content. Lipit-Eshtar, servant of the Lord, may you shine as brilliantly as the sunlight! May concord be created under you in the established cities, settlements and dwellings! May the black-headed people, numerous as flocks, follow the right path under you! Lipit-Eshtar, even in far-away foreign countries, you will be the king! The Lord has faithfully bestowed on you the princely august throne, the eternal ornament of kingship; He has made it firm for you. May you never cease to wear the crown that has been placed firmly on your head! God has adorned you with princely powers. The friendly guardians and the protecting angels of the Great House stand by you. May the food offerings, wine, and milk that you bring ...! Servant and creature of the Lord, may everything be pleasant for you!

54 "May you, servant of the Lord, chosen in His heart by the One imbued with awesomeness, be provided abundantly with everything!"

56-58 What the Most High says decides a good destiny; what the Great One says decides a good destiny. ... for Lipit-Eshtar, servant of the Lord.
