1-15 ..., when she augustly appears, no one can keep pace with her, ... glowing in the night, ... with awe-inspiring splendour. The great are filled with fear at her. Her utterances are as grand as the Most High's, and as weighty as the Lord's. She is supreme, with multifarious powers surpassing the other ladies. She perfected the divine plans of kingship, so as to re-establish it, and she made up her mind and truly yearned to provide justice for the black-headed and to give them stable governance. From among the numerous people Ur-Ninurta was summoned to be the shepherd of living beings. The king whom she took by the hand humbly entered into the place where destinies are determined, where the good powers are assigned to the great -- the Great House, the holy dwelling that is endued with terrifying awe. There, by God's leave, destiny is determined in heaven and earth, taking counsel.

17-26 (She speaks:) "Great One, Your commands are great indeed: who can revoke them? Lord, no one knows how to dissipate the great destinies that You determine. Bestow permanently the role of shepherd of living beings, of the numerous people, upon Ur-Ninurta, the youth who knows how to carry out Your orders. He has brought with him from the holy womb a knowledge of how to build homes and cities, and how to strengthen the Land. He knows how to direct all countries: let him give great commands. May his shepherd's crook make the rebel lands bow low; may he let them have stable governance. From the south to the uplands may he clamp down upon the Land like a neck-stock. May his utterances ... May he search out food for them to eat as if for sheep, and may he get them water to drink."

28 "May Ur-Ninurta shine forth like the sun over the people for long years!"

30-39 God who made human seed come forth, the Father of all that is, spoke favourably to the king, determining his destiny: "Chosen cedar, ornament of the courtyard of the Great House! Ur-Ninurta, may the Land refresh itself in your shade. May you be the good shepherd of all lands. May they attend as if to the sun when you deliver a just verdict. As you take your seat upon the royal dais with its firm foundations, may you hold your head high, Ur-Ninurta. May the good crown be your glory. Inspiring fear and trembling, o lion of kingship, may you wear the royal robe!"

41-42 "May you establish the ordinances of the house! Ur-Ninurta, I am your great wall permanently and forever!"

44-55 "You howl like a storm upon your enemies. May your splendour cover like a heavy raincloud the lands that are disobedient to you. Let the great sovereigns and powerful ones tremble like solitary reeds. You arise like the south wind, and when you have plotted against the rebel lands, when you have taken their people prisoners, then, o Ur-Ninurta, place the yoke on their necks in Isin, your city of great renown." God has determined this as a destiny forever unchangeable for Ur-Ninurta, His attentive shepherd.

57-66 The Lord who has the decisions of heaven and earth in His hands, the Great Mountain, has made the king's fame extend as far as the boundaries of heaven: "Ur-Ninurta! In authority and youthfulness may your neck be as fat as a wild bull's. May my avenging servant, a furious storm against the enemy, be your helper on the battlefield, and may you put your trust in God. ... the enemy land, and may he spread out in heaps for me. The holy purification rites of the Great House, serving daily. May your offerings on the august table in my great dining hall be everlasting. May you lift your head and raise your neck to the heavens. Life is yours, irrevocably."

68-76 The angels said "Let it be so!" to the destiny determined by the Most High and by the Lord of all living beings. In order to strengthen the black-headed in their dwelling-places, to keep the foreign lands on the track, to put the people in unison, and to make them bow down at his feet, all the powers were gathered together and placed in his hand. He went forth joyfully from the Lord's presence to take his seat in the palace, the dwelling-place of sweet honey. ... her king ... does not cease, as she speaks truly to him:

78-87 "Youth with beautiful and well-formed limbs, ... radiantly and proudly lifting his head, full of charm and beauty, fitted for lordship, worthy of the holy dais, Ur-Ninurta: I have decided to give you your precious powers. I called to you when you lifted your faithful gaze: you are the one whom I called by name. The Most High has made you forever pre-eminent, as far as the outer limit of the mountains. To prolong your days, o youth, in the Great House the Lord has commanded ... life. You shall not cease to sit on the dais which I care for. May the foreign lands rejoice at you, my Ur-Ninurta, as at the moon when, admired by the Land, it appears in the holy heavens."

89 "My Ur-Ninurta, the Lord has called you truly to be the shepherd of the Land."

91-93 "... at my good decision which cannot be changed, ... may impressive strength be with you."
