Aton’s Glory in Creation
How manifold are thy works,
They are hidden from the face of man,
O sole god, like whom there is no other.
Thou didst create the world according to thy desire.
Whilst thou wast alone.[21]
Even all men, herds and flocks;
Whatever is on earth; creatures that walk upon their feet,
And that soar aloft, flying with their wings.
The countries of Syria and Cush, the land of Egypt;
Thou settest every man in his place;
Thou suppliest their necessities.
Everyone has his food and his days are reckoned.[22]
Their tongues are diverse in speech,
And their characters likewise.
Their complexions are distinguished,
For thou distinguishest country from country.
