1-4 Hero, terror-inspiring dragon of exceptional fearsome terror, powerful! Rising hurricane, mighty possessor of august strength, who lets no foreign land escape! Fitted for heroism from the womb, unrivalled!

6-11 You who treat as hostile the cities as well as the unsettled areas, the rebel lands -- as you pass by, like a terrifying fierce lion you make heaven and earth tremble from east to west. When in judgment, like a hero possessing great strength, you batter a rebel land, by day you thrust, by night you rear up, and you leave the rebel land lying prone. If you merely lift your gaze, you make the great hills tremble together.

13-15 Mighty lord, with all the qualities of authority! Support of your father! You are the right arm of the Great Mountain, on whom he has bestowed life. You understand how to establish and to fulfil the decisions pronounced by him.

17-23 Lord of all rulers, of the terrifying ..., you do not let the evil and wicked escape. The foreign land and the broad territories that you have looked upon with favour spread themselves before you in abundance. You have entrusted the various quarters of heaven and earth, with their settled peoples, to Ur-Ninurta, the youth who is all for you, the good shepherd who is attentive to you. You have made him to whom wisdom has been given understand how to ... them. May you be available to make the black-headed, numerous as sheep, follow your path.

25 Cast down in heaps all those who are not obedient to the great hero Ur-Ninurta.

27-35 Lord, servant of the Lord, who has come forth from the hills! Your imposing greatness is declared in praise songs. Your authority and your powerful greatness cover the numerous people in all the lands from east to west with their tempestuous splendour. Your Lord who engendered you, the shepherd of all, has placed the great powers of heaven and earth in your hands for safe keeping, has given you valour and pre-eminence, and let you have no rivals. You are the heart's delight of the faithful: they love you dearly. Rejoicing in your actions, they have found you awe-inspiring.

36-46 Who like you rises in glory, whose name reaches as far as the limits of heaven? You have given ... to the just youth, who was called from among the widespread people, engendered by the Great Mountain -- Ur-Ninurta, ... joy, to whom you have spoken favourably. On the dais ... you have bestowed on him a lapis lazuli. You have added years of joy to Ur-Ninurta's reign. You have built his city amid plenty, a habitation where the people are settled. May the black-headed direct their gaze at you as at the rising sun. When you have given him the weapon that ... the hostile foreign lands, that makes the earth tremble, you will completely devastate the populations that are disobedient to him. Let Ur-Ninurta grasp it in his hand.

48 May you be ... a helper for the great hero Ur-Ninurta.

50-53 Lord, your fixing of destinies cannot be upset, and your holy word is powerful. Lord, your fixing of destinies cannot be upset, and your holy word is powerful. Determine a good fate for Ur-Ninurta, with years of life forever unalterable as his destiny.
