The Assyrian and Hebrew Hymns of Praise

by Charles Gordon Cumming

And to be feared above all them that are round about Him.

—Psalm 89:8.

Furthermore, both in Assyrian and Biblical hymns, the gods themselves do homage to the highest god:

O Sin, at thy appearance the gods assemble;

Kings, all of them, prostrate themselves.

—Hymn to Sin No. 3.

There bow before thee the Igigi, the Annunaki, the gods, the goddesses.

—Hymn to Marduk No. 1.

Worship him all ye gods.

—Psalm 97:7.
