It is only when the Assyrian hymn applies to its deity the superlative degree, that it touches common ground with the Hebrew hymn. For both Assyrian and Hebrew worshippers praise their deity as the incomparable god. Such passages from Assyrian hymns are:
O mighty God, to whom there is no rival in the assembly of the great gods.
—Hymn to Marduk No. 5.
Marduk, among all gods thou excellest.
—Hymn to Marduk No. 6.
