'He hath gotten the victory,' and they rejoice in him, and they ascribe
praise unto him with their hands, and they turn unto him their faces. The
living one is triumphant, and is even like a living soul dwelling in
heaven, and he hath been ordered to perform [his] transformations. Osiris
triumphed over his enemies, and Osiris, the chief scribe and draughtsman,
Ptah-mes, triumphant, hath gained the victory over his enemies in the
presence of the great divine sovereign chiefs who dwell in heaven, and in
the presence of the great divine sovereign chiefs who dwell upon the
earth."

Hymn Of Praise To Osiris

[From Lepsius, "Todtenbuch," Bl. 51.]

A HYMN OF PRAISE TO OSIRIS. The Osiris Auf-ankh, triumphant, saith:

"Homage to thee, O Osiris Un-nefer, triumphant, thou son of Nut, thou
first-born son of Seb, thou mighty one who comest forth from Nut, thou
King in the city of Nifu-ur,(112) thou Governor of Amentet, thou lord of
Abtu (Abydos), thou lord of souls, thou mighty one of strength, thou lord
of the _atef_ crown in Suten-henen, thou lord of the divine form in the
city of Nifu-ur, thou lord of the tomb, thou mighty one of souls in Tattu,
thou lord of [sepulchral] offerings, thou whose festivals are many in
Tattu. The god Horus exalteth his father in every place (or shrine), and
he uniteth [himself] unto the goddess Isis and unto the goddess Nephthys;
and the god Thoth reciteth for him the mighty glorifyings which are within
him, [and which] come forth from his mouth, and the heart of Horus is
stronger than that of all the gods. Rise up, then, O Horus, thou son of
Isis, and avenge thy father Osiris. Hail, O Osiris, I have come unto thee;
I am Horus and I have avenged thee, and I feed this day upon the
sepulchral meals of oxen, and feathered fowl, and upon all the beautiful
things [offered] unto Osiris. Rise up, then, O Osiris, for I have struck
down for thee all thine enemies, and I have taken vengeance upon them for
thee. I am Horus upon this beautiful day of thy fair rising in thy Soul
which exalteth thee along with itself on this day before thy divine
sovereign princes. Hail, O Osiris, thy _ka_ hath come unto thee and is
with thee, and thou restest therein in thy name of Ka-Hetep. I maketh thee
glorious in thy name of Khu, and it maketh thee like unto the Morning Star
in thy name of Pehu, and it openeth for thee the ways in thy name of
Ap-uat. Hail, O Osiris, I have come unto thee and I have set thine enemies
