May the gods of Ekur and Nippur and the great gods who live in heaven and earth grant the king of the lands, my lord, a life of long days, the satisfaction of a ripe old age, a just sceptre, (and) the shepherding of mankind; and may they give firm positive answers to the king, my lord, and endow the king, my lord, with the direction and care of all lands.
