are good, and I make to come into your presence Right and Truth. I, even
I, know you, and I know your names, and I know your forms, which are
unknown, and I come into being along with you. My coming is like unto that
of the god who eateth men and who liveth upon the gods. I am mighty with
you like the god who is exalted upon his resting-place; the gods come to
me in gladness, and goddesses make supplication unto me when they see me.
I have come unto you, and I have risen like your two divine daughters. I
have taken my seat in the horizon, and I receive my offerings upon my
tables, and I drink drink-offerings at eventide. My coming is [received]
with shouts of joy, and the divine beings who dwell in the horizon ascribe
praises unto me, the divine spiritual body (_Sah_), the lord of divine
beings. I am exalted like the holy god who dwelleth in the Great Temple,
and the gods rejoice when they see me in my beautiful coming forth from
the body of Nut, when my mother Nut giveth birth unto me."

(Abydos) hath fallen--and I rest. I have remembered him. I have taken
possession of the god Hu in my city, for I found him therein, and I have
led away captive the darkness by my might. I have rescued the Eye [of the
Sun] when it waned at the coming of the festival of the fifteenth day, and
I have weighed Sut in the celestial houses against the Aged one who is
with him. I have endowed Thoth [with what is needful] in the Temple of the
Moon-god for the coming of the fifteenth day of the festival. I have taken
possession of the _Ureret_ crown; Maat (_i.e._, right and truth) is in my
body; its mouths are of turquoise and rock-crystal. My homestead is among
the furrows which are [of the color of] lapis-lazuli. I am Hem-Nu(?) who
sheddeth light in the darkness. I have come to give light in the darkness,
which is made light and bright [by me]. I hav
