II

Wake in health, Min-Amen!

Lord of the everlasting, maker of eternity,

Lord of adorations, dwelling in [Khemmis],

Established of two horns, fair of face,

Lord of the uræus crown with lofty double plume,

Beautiful of diadem, with lofty white crown,

The kingly coif with the two uræi are on his forehead.

He is adorned within the palace,

With the Sekhet crown, the Nemes cap, and the Khepersh helmet.

Fair of face, he taketh the Atef crown,

Loving its south and its north.

Lord of the Sekhemt sceptre, receiving the Ames sceptre,

Lord of the Meks sceptre, holding the Nekhekh,

Beautiful Ruler, crowned with the white crown!

Lord of rays, making light!

The gods give praises unto him

Who giveth his two hands [for aid] to him that loveth him,

Who casteth his enemies in the fire;

His eye it is which overthroweth the wicked;

It casteth its lance at the devourer of Nu;

It causeth the serpent Nak to cast up that which it swallowed.

Hail to thee, Ra, lord of truth,

Whose sanctuary is hidden! lord of the gods,

Khepera in the midst of his bark,

He gave command, and the gods were created.

Tum, maker of the Rekhyt,

Distinguishing their kinds, making their lives,

Distinguishing their complexions one from another.

Hearing the complaint of him who is oppressed,

Kindly of heart when called upon.

He delivereth the timid from him who is of a froward heart,

He judgeth the cause of the weak and the oppressed.

Lord of Understanding, Taste is on his lips,

The Nile cometh at his desire.

Lord of sweetness, great one of love,

He maketh the Rekhyt to live,

He giveth keenness to every eye.

He is made out of Nu,

Creating the rays of light.

The gods rejoice in his beauties,

Their hearts live when they behold him.
