Hail ye gods, I know you and I know your names; let me not be stricken down by your blows: report not the evil which is in me to the god whom ye follow. Let not reverse([32]) of mine come to pass through you.
Let not evil things be said against me in presence of the Inviolate One; because I have done the right in Tamerit.
I revile not the god: let not reverse of mine come to pass through the King who resideth within His own Day.([33])
Hail ye gods who are in the Hall of Righteousness, who have nothing wrong about you; who subsist upon Righteousness in Annu, and who sate themselves with cares,([34]) in presence of the god who resideth within his own Orb: deliver me from Babai who feedeth upon the livers of princes on the Day of the Great Reckoning.
Behold me: I am come to you, void of wrong, without fraud, a harmless one: let me not be declared guilty; let not the issue be against me.
I subsist upon Righteousness: I sate myself with uprightness of heart: I have done that which man prescribeth and that which pleaseth the gods.
I have propitiated the god with that which he loveth. I have given bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothes to the naked, a boat to the shipwrecked. I have made oblations to the gods and funeral offerings to the departed: deliver me therefore: protect me therefore: and report not against me in presence of the great god.
I am one whose mouth is pure, and whose hands are pure, to whom there is said “Come, come in peace,” by those who look upon him.
For I have listened to the words which were spoken by the Ass and the Cat in the house of Hept-ro.([35])
And I have undergone the inspection of the god Whose face is behind him, who awardeth my verdict([36]), so that I may behold what the Persea tree covereth([37]) in Restau.
