9. Established is thy utterance, irresistible thy command.

10. None among the gods shall invade thy province.

11. Sustenance, the desire of shrines of the gods,

12. While they are in need, shall be certain in thy sanctuary!

13. O Marduk, thou art the preserver of our lives!

14. We give thee sovereignty over the totality of all the world.

15. Sit thou in the assembly, thy word shall be exalted!

16. Thy weapon shall never be o’ercome, may it destroy (?) thy foe!

17. O lord, he who trusts thee—his life save!

18. But the god that is wed to evil, its life pour out!”
