—Hymn to Marduk No. 1.

The moon has its very worthy representative among the gods in the person of the great God Sin:

Thou that brightenest the night,

That givest light to all nations,

Bright is thy light in heaven;

Thy brightness fills the whole earth.

—Hymn to Sin No. 1.

Thou that from the base of heaven to the height of heaven dost march in glory;

Opening the door of heaven, and granting light to all men.

—Hymn to Sin No. 5.
