Nov.7] SOCIETYOF BIBLICAL ARCHEOLOGY. [1893.Oh thou GreatOne, whoart Shoreless, (11) andcallestupon
the Powers of the South, at the moment when the god is carried
forth,saying:—
"Beholdthe Lord of his Flood; see, the Shoulder is fastened
(12)uponhis neck andthe Haunch uponthe head of the West"
offerings whichthe two goddessesof the West (13)presentto me
whenthe weeping burstethforthfromme at what I witness, as I am
borneroundon the Tenait in Abydos, (14)andthe bolts madefast
on the gateways aboveyourimagesare in the reach of thine hand
andfromwithinthee.
Thyfaceis as that of a hound whosenostrilsniffethat the covert
to which my feet convey me.
Anubisis my bearer, for he who lullethme to rest (16) Is the
godin Lion form.
Do thou saveme!
I am He who cometh forthas one who breakeththrough the
door; and everlasting is the Daylight whichhis will hath created.
" I know the deep waters" is my name.
I satisfy the desires of the Glorified, whoare by millions and
hundredsof thousands... .* I am the guardian of their interests,
activelyworkingat the hours of the day and adjusting the arms of
Sahu; twelve in circling round,unitinghands, eachof them with
another. But the sixth of them in the Tuat is the ' Hour of the
overthrowof the Sebau,' which comethherein triumph ; the same
which makethwayinto the Tuat ; the same whichis yoked with
Shu.
I shine forthas the Lord of Life andthe glorious orderof this
day : the blood whichpurifiethandthe vigorous sword-strokesby
whichthe Earth is made one.
I sever the horns (17)fromthosewhounitein resistance to me ;
the hidden oneswhorise up in opposition againstme ; those whogo
upontheirbellies.
I come as the ambassador of the Lord of lords to avenge the
causeof Osiris in this place. Let not t the Eye consume its tears.
I am the Guide of the house of Him who dwelleth in his
treasures.
