Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)
Let me give praise to the king endowed with allure, the radiance covering the nation, Lord Ur-Namma! In his heart Ašimbabbar has chosen Ur-Namma, Ur-Namma who is endowed with allure, the radiance covering the nation, placing thereby a shackle on all the lands and blocking the way with a strong bolt. The king is worthy of Suen! Wickedness cannot pass unnoticed before his eyes. Ur-Namma has accomplished an achievement, justice! He fills the wicked land with his battle-cry. The rebellious land is overthrown, Ur-Namma acts (?) as the constable.
