Chaldean Hymns to the Sun: Third Hymn

Thou who marchest before ...
With Anu and Bel ...
The support of crowds of men, direct them!
He who rules in heaven, he who arranges, is thyself.
He who establishes truth in the thoughts of the nations, is thyself.
Thou knowest the truth, thou knowest what is false.
Sun, justice has raised its head;
Sun, falsehood, like envy, has spoken calumny.
Sun, the servant of Anu and Bel is thyself;
Sun, the supreme judge of heaven and earth is thyself.
Sun, ...

Sun, the supreme judge of the countries, is thyself.
The Lord of living beings, the one merciful to the countries, is thyself.
Sun, illuminate this day the King, son of his god, make him shine!
Everything that is working evil in his body, may that be driven elsewhere.
Like a cruse of ... purify him!
Like a cruse of milk, make him flow!
May it flow like molten bronze!
Deliver him from his infirmity!
Then, when he revives, may thy sublimity direct him!
And me, the magician, thy obedient servant, direct me!
