20 Ka is mighty, his foes puny. 
21 Ka hath despoiled Apap. 
22 O Ea thou givest all life* to the King, thou givest food for his mouth, 
drink for his throat, sweet oil for his hair. 
23 O blessed Ka-Harmachis thou careerest by him in triumph, those in 
thy bark exult to quell and overthrow the wicked. 
24 Cries of joy in the great seat, the divine cabin is in gladness, accla- 
mation in the bark of millions of years. 
25 The sailors of Ea are charmed at heart to see Ea hailed as supreme 
of the order of great gods, they gain delight in doing adoration to the 
bark, homage in the mysterious chamber. 
26 O shine Amen-Ka-Harmachis self-sprung, thy sister-goddesses stand 
in Bech,+ they 
27 receive thee, they uplift thee into thy bark, which is perfect in delights 
before Lord Ea, thou begettest blessings. 
28 Come Ea, self-created, thou lettest Pharaoh receive plenty in his 
battlemented house, on the altar of the god whose name is hidden. 
29 Glory to thee, Prince coming forth in thy season, Lord of many faces, 
diadem producing rays, scattering darkness, all lands are filled with 
thy splendours, apes make to thee salutations with their arms, they 
praise thee, they cry aloud to thee, they tell thy glories, their lips 
exalt thee, in heaven, in earth they conduct thee in splendid array, 
they open or drive back the gate of the Western horizon of heaven, 
they let Ea be embraced in peace and joy by his mother Nut, thy 
soul is approved by the tenants of the lower heaven, the divine spirits 
rejoice at the twofold season of brightness : thou turnest gloom into 
repose ;+ 
30 Thou sweetenest the pain of Osiris, thou givest breezes in the valley, 
illuminest earth in darkness, sweetenest the pain of Osiris. 
31 All beings taste the breath, they make to thee acclamations in thy 
changes, thou who art Lord of changes, they jgive adoration to thy 
might in thy forms of beauty in the morn. 
32 Gods hold their arms to thee, those whom thy mother Nut bore. 
33 Come to the King, O Ka, stablish his glories in heaven, his might on 
earth. 
34 O Ea, heaven rejoices to thee; O Ka, earth trembles at thee; O blessed 
Ka-Harmachis, thou hast raised heaven to elevate thy soul, the 
lower sky has hidden thee in thy enwrapt forms.
