s,
show him his dwelling in the midst of the earth, open your doors
to him, unfasten the bolt.

8 O Ra, O Teb-Temt, guide the royal Osiris following the direction
of the spirits, following the course of the gods. The royal Osiris
is in his gateway (in presence of the) navigating gods; the royal
Osiris is the only one, the guardian of his doors, he who puts the
gods in their places. He is upon his pedestal in the empyrean, he
is the possessor in the midst of the possessors, he is at the
extremities of the empyrean, he is blessed in the infernal
regions. He rests in the Ament among the spirits who are in the
members of the Ament. The royal Osiris is Ra's darling, he is the
mysterious phoenix, he enters in peace into the empyrean, he leaves
Nut in peace; the royal Osiris has his throne in heaven, he
traverses the horizons in Ra's train, he is at peace in the
heavens, in Ra's fields, his share is upon the horizon in the
fields of Aalu; he traverses the earth like Ra, he is wise like
Thoth, he walks at will, he hastens in his course, like Sahu with
the mysterious names, who becomes two divinities. The royal Osiris
becomes two divinities. What Ra produces, the royal Osiris
produces; he gives a spiritual existence to what he loves; he does
not give it to what he hates. The royal Osiris is the Chief of the
gods who make offerings to the spirits, he is powerful in his
course, he is the courageous being who strikes his enemies.

9 O ye gods, O ye blessed who precede Ra and who escort his
spirit, do to the royal Osiris as to Ra, tow him with you in the
same way that you conduct Ra and the two navigating gods in the
heavens; the royal Osiris is Ra himself, and reciprocally; he is
the Chief of his worshippers who gives life to the forms.

powerful, O powerful, O protecting, O protecting, O mysterious, O
mysterious (Ament), the royal Osiris knows thee, he knows thy
form, he knows the name of thy companions. Ament, hide my corpse,

powerful one, may he be powerful with thy power! O Ament, open thy
arms to him; O protectress, cover his body; O mysterious being,
stretch out thy hand t
