6 lliou listenest to the call of thy attendant gods behind thy chamber ; 
in gladness are the mariners of thy bark, their heart delighted, Lord 
of heaven who hast brought joys to the divine Chiefs, the lower sky 
rejoices, gods and men exult applauding Ka on his standard, blest by 
his mother Nut ; their heart is glad. 
7 Ka hath quelled his impious foes, heaven rejoices, earth is in delight, 
gods and goddesses are in festival to make adoration to Ka-Hoh, as 
they see him rise in his bark. 
8 He fells the wicked in his season, the abode is inviolate, the diadem 
Mehen * is in its place, the Urceus hath smitten the wicked. 
9 0 let thy mother Nut embrace tbee,f Lord Ka, those who are with 
her tell thy glories. 
10 Osiris and Nephthys have uplifted thee at thy coming forth from 
the womb of thy mother Nut.J 
11 O shine Ka-Harmachis shine in thy morning as thy noonday bright- 
ness, thy cause upheld over thy enemies, thou makest thy cabin 
spread wide, thou hast repelled the false one in the hour of his 
annihilation : he has no rest in the hour when thou breakest the 
strength of the wicked enemies of Ka, to cast him into the fire of 
Nehaher,§ encircling in its hour the children of the profane. 
12 No strength have they, Ka prevails over his insensate foes, vea, 
putting them to the sword thou makest the false one cast up what he 
devoured. 
13 Arise O Ka from within thy chamber. 
14 Strong is Ka, weak the foes. 
15 Lofty is Ka, down-stricken the foes. 
10 Ka is living, his foes dead. 
17 Ka is full of meat aud drink, his foes a-hungered and athii'st. 
18 Ka is bright, his foes engulfed. 
19 Ka is good, his foes evil. 
The serpent Mehen here described as being worn as a diadem bv Ka. 
Usually it forms a canopy over the deity. 
f Perhaps “Approach thou thy mother Nut,’’ Neb lia, “Lord Ka,’’ 
seems dearly the reading of the text given in Lepsius, unless the scribe 
lias twice put the hieratic character for miter instead of the usual form of 
/< ; JSeb heli, “lord of eternity,” as Maspero renders it, is what might 
rather have been expected. In the following “ Isis and Nephthys ” is the 
version of M.^Maspero ; the text appears to me to give Osiris.—

+ The same idea, as in the Psalm: “ The dew of thy birth is of the womb 
of the morning.”
