Text : (1) A HYMN OF PRAISE TO RA WHEN HE RISETH UPON
THE HORIZON, AND WHEN HE SETTETH IN THE LAND OF LIFE .
Osiris, the scribe Ani, saith :-

"Homage to thee, (2) O Ra, when thou risest [as] Tem-Heru-
"khuti (Tem-Harmachis) . Thou art adored [by me when] thy
"beauties are before mine eyes, and [when thy] (3) radiance
"[falleth] upon [my] body . Thou goest forth to thy setting in
"the Sektet boat with [fair] winds, and thy heart is glad ; the
"(4) heart of the Matet boat rejoiceth . Thou stridest over the
"heavens in peace, and all thy foes are cast down ; the never
"resting stars (5) sing hymns of praise unto thee, and the stars
"which rest, and the stars which never fail glorify thee as thou
"(6) sinkest to rest in the horizon of Manu,T O thou who art
"beautiful at morn and at eve, O thou lord who livest and art
"established, O my lord !

"Homage to thee, O thou who art Rd when thou risest, and
"(7) Tem when thou settest [in] beauty . Thou risest and shinest
"on the back of thy mother [Nut], O thou who art crowned king
"(8) of the gods! Nut doeth homage unto thee, and everlasting
"and never-changing order 2 embraceth thee at morn and at eve.
"Thou stridest over the heaven, being glad of heart, and the
"Lake of Testes (9) is content [thereat] . The Sebau Fiend hath
"fallen to the ground ; his arms and his hands have been hacked
"off, and the knife hath severed the joints of his body . Ra hath
"a fair wind (10) ; the Sektet boat goeth forth and sailing along
"it cometh into port . The gods of the south and of the north,
"of the west and of the east, praise (11) thee, O thou divine
"substance, from whom all forms of life come into being . Thou
"sendest forth the word, and the earth is flooded with silence,
"O thou only One, who didst dwell in heaven before ever the
"earth and the mountains came into existence . (12) O Runner,
"O Lord, O only One, thou maker of things which are, thou
"hast fashioned the tongue of the company of the gods, thou
"hast produced whatsoever cometh forth from the waters, and "thou
springest up from them over the flooded land of the Lake
"of Horns . (13) Let me snuff the air which cometh forth from
"thy nostrils, and the north wind which cometh forth from thy
"mother [Nut] . O make thou to be glorious my shining form
"(khu), O Osiris, (14) make thou to be divine my soul (ba)!
"Thou art worshipped [in] peace (or [in] setting), O lord of the
"gods, thou art exalted by reason of thy wondrous works. Shine
"thou with thy rays of light upon my body day by day, (15)
"[upon me], Osiris the scribe, the teller of the divine offerings
"of all the gods, the overseer of the granary of the lords of
"Abtu (Abvdos), the royal scribe in truth who loveth thee ; Ani,
"victorious in peace ."

"Do away utterly with the transgression which is in me, together
"with [my] wickedness and sinfulness, O god of Right and Truth .
"May this god be at peace with me! Do away utterly with the
"(4) obstacles which are between thee and me. O thou to whom
"offerings are made in the divine [city] of Kenur,' grant thou
"that I may bring to thee the offerings which will make peace
"[between thee and men] whereon thou livest, and that I also
"may live thereon . Be thou at peace (5) with me and do away
"utterly with all the shame of me which thou hast in thy heart
"because of me ."
