Rh Hail! Guard thou the inundation in the land of Tesdu, like as thou hast never done before!

Thy sister cometh to thee; she openeth for thee her arms, oh great god, living, great, beloved!

She dandleth thy son in front of thee, at the head of the south and the north!

The lord of ornamentation, the great male one in the heaven of the gods, is decorated!

Thou camest from thy mother, Nut; she spread herself out before thee at thy coming forth from her;

She protected thy limbs from all evil; she followed thee as her babe.

She drove away every danger from thy limbs, chiefly that which was harmful to thee, thou child, the lord.

He goeth forth from Nut; he gazeth upon this land as its head, he the only lord, the child!

Thou goest forth from this cow which conceiveth from the gods, oh thou opener of the underworld in its time!

Lo! the child followeth; thy father Ra remains not;

Thy son Horus shall take vengeance for thee upon the enemy for every calamity brought about by him.
