Open thy mouth, let the garment vanish.

Utter again thy command, let the garment appear.

He spake with his mouth, vanished the garment;

Again he commanded, and the garment appeared.

When the gods, his fathers, saw thus his word fulfilled,

Joyful were they and did homage: Marduk is king.

On him conferred sceptre and throne....

Gave him invincible arms to crush them that hate him.

Now go and cut short the life of Tiamat,

May the winds into a secret place carry her blood.
