Rh Hail, oh God,—hear thou! Protect the land!

Hear thou the cry—protect the land from the gates of the heavenly nomes!

Hail to him who cometh forth with his two eyes, son of the servant of God!

Hail, protector, preserver when thou speakest!

Hail, protector of Pharaoh, when he doeth what thou lovest!

Hail, protector of Pharaoh, when he causeth thy praises to be made!

Hail, thou seated one, for there cometh to thee this peace of heart!

Hail to the son of the servant of God—there is recited for him the service of the festival!

Hail, thou who art established by the name of Deddu-above-the-heavens!

Hail, thou sweet-scented one in Deddu-above-the-heavens!

Hail, thou who comest subduing hostile ones!

Hail, thou who comest adoring the Infant!

Hail, thou who producest his fear in rebellious hearts!

Hail, oh worker who followeth his lord, though the follower of the god Bast attendeth him not!

Behold, there are rebellious hearts, hating the temple, but the end of all things strikes them upon their necks!
