1-2 He told her, the great daughter-in-law, ...: "That Lipit-Eshtar should be your provider -- so let it be!"

4-13 She paid attention to the Lord's utterance. She answered with humility: "Lord whose name is manifest, Your powers are the most ..., Your instructions are the most precious. For the trustworthy shepherd, lord Lipit-Eshtar ... He has settled the people, he has made the Land feel content. You looked upon him with Your life-giving gaze: now decree him a true fate!

15 "O Lord, bestow upon prince Lipit-Eshtar a long life of many days!"

17-24 The Great Mountain paid attention to the words spoken. He blessed the king and decreed his fate: "Lipit-Eshtar, you whom I have called by name, shall be elevated among the people. May the living look to you as to their own fathers and mothers! May the strong one who cares for the Great House, the governor of the august shrine, be your help on the battlefield! May he collect your enemies like small birds for you; may he spread them out like sheaves for you!

26-27 The Lord, whose order cannot be altered, has made the name of prince Lipit-Eshtar exalted among the numerous people.

29-30 "I am elevated in heaven, and am the Lord of all the powers on earth. The good fate I have decreed to Lipit-Eshtar is something which can never be changed!"
