1-4 The Most High, powerful, great, the respected, brilliantly manifest! In fixing a great fate for the king, He has laid His hand truly upon Ur-Ninurta.

6-19 As he passes, alone, as far as the border of the foreign lands, he is indeed the guardian of the people. He seizes all the great powers, and places his feet upon the numerous powers. The very wise One, the Prince who decides destiny, has truly spoken to him; He has truly spoken to Ur-Ninurta. He has made him the mightiest in the Land; He has made Ur-Ninurta the mightiest in the Land. He has bestowed upon Ur-Ninurta a royal throne on a foundation established forever; the august shepherd's crook, which gathers up the powers of the Land; and a just sceptre which directs the numerous people. When the Holy One determines a destiny, the angels of heaven stand by and pay attention.

21-25 In their place of assembly, they said "Let it be so!" God gave to Ur-Ninurta the building of cities, the founding of settlements, the subduing of foreign lands, and the strengthening of the foundations of the Land of Sumer; years of plenty, and a reign of long days.

27-44 God raised His far-reaching gaze to the good shepherd. He spoke to Ur-Ninurta, His beloved servant, with kindly words: "May there be shame at your awe-inspiring splendour, while you ride as if on a great storm. May you have no rival in your youthful power. May the Land remain under your rule. May you make your name supreme in the foreign lands, and may they speak good of you. May the land that is of its own will unbending to you, submit to you. Ur-Ninurta, to whom I have given great power: you should trust in my name. May your words clamp down upon the wicked like a great neck-stock. May the rebel land approach at your command, and do reverence to you. In your lordliness may you hold your head high. May you be good to the people. May you be the man of justice, and may it come to your aid. You have justice that comes from the heart. May the good guardians of the priesthood and of kingship stand faithfully at your side. My Ur-Ninurta, named with the name of Sumer! Go with your head high to the shrine of Nibru. The brick-built Great House accepts your offerings: 'May the awe-inspiring shepherd stand in attendance with his great food offerings for the house.'"

46-49 "I am the only One with great powers. I am the King, the only One with great powers. Ur-Ninurta, my utterances shall never be altered for you."
