1-5 Say to my Lord, the exalted judge of heaven and earth, who cares for the Land, who renders verdicts; just God, who loves to keep man alive, who heeds entreaty, who extends mercy, who knows ...... compassion, who loves justice, who selects honesty, ......:

6-11 Repeat to the Lord who opens the bolts of heaven and earth (1 ms. has instead: who opens the bolts), who creates brightness in darkness; foremost Lord who alone is resplendent, whose greatness is unequalled; who guards and gathers together the ordinances; just God, Prince who determines all the fates, my Lord, Lord of the black-headed: this is what Sîn-iddinam, king of Larsa, Your servant, says:

12-20 Distress has been caused in Your city Larsa, which You have chosen in Your heart. The broad squares where days have been passed in merriment have been reduced to (1 ms. has instead: are left in) silence. Your commendable troops who were assembled have been annihilated like reeds from a reed fence splitting apart. Your young men have been harvested like barley at the due time; they have been picked and have been plucked like ripened fruit. The people have been smashed like terracotta figurines; they have perished all together. An evil storm took away the little ones from the laps of their mothers. The people ......; their appearance has been changed. Overwhelming troops have been set loose, ...... the Land ...... like flour. O Lord, it is as though You stand aside from Your city Larsa like an enemy.

21-29 The mountain land of Elam where there are no dead in great numbers like ......, and Subir, a heavy cloud, which knows no reverence even towards the sacred -- these districts have not been ......; their time has not yet come. The Cimackian does not set apart priestesses for the places of worship (1 ms. has instead: The Cimackian knows neither his God nor those chosen priestesses) (1 other ms. has instead: The Cimackian ...... neither the nugig nor the nubar priestesses for the places of worship). His soldiers are numerous like grass; his seed is widespread (1 ms. has instead: is indeed exalted). He who lives in tents, who does not know of the places of worship: like a wild beast which mounts, he knows nothing of flour offerings nor prayers (1 ms. has instead: flour and the offering of prayers). Evil spirits and distressing afflictions have not carried him off (1 ms. has instead: do not approach him). Who ...... a sacred oath is committing sacrilege, yet his troops are in good health.

30-33 For seven years, in my city there has been no battle and combat, and death has not been imminent (1 ms. has instead: For five years, in my city we have not been extinguished by battle, not oppressed by death). In the open country the lion does not diminish (1 ms. has instead: ......) devouring men. I am treated (1 ms. has instead: I have been bound) like one who does not know how to entreat God fervently. I serve the Lord daily with prayers, and my fervent entreaties are sublime.

34-44 O Lord, for that reason look favourably upon Your city Larsa! Say "Alas!" for Your city! Say "Alas for the sanctuary!" ......! Extend sympathetic compassion to Larsa! Take heed of the causes of distress, and make ...... leave ...... Larsa! Remove ...... and distress from its midst (1 ms. has instead: within Larsa)! ...... the frightful ...... in Larsa, so that ...... may escape the clutches of death. ...... may its seed be great! May ...... sing Your praises!

45-46 And as for me, for my reverence give me life! Bestow on me long life as a gift!
