Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)
Inana, lady of heaven and of the broad earth, powerful xx, who radiates xx, who shines by night, who xx goes forth from xx, who is diffused wide over heaven and earth. xx may you make eminent xx Ur-Ninurta, xx who is the awe xx and the joy of his mother. xx may he lift his head high, and be their great wild bull. Make xx bow low for him xx, so that he may clamp down upon them. Deliver them into the exalted hands of him created from good seed. Under his rule may the people rest in meadows with him as their herdsman. May Ur-Ninurta make the numerous people follow the just path.
