May your kingship be as stable as heaven and earth! You are king of numerous lands and peoples! You are the people's good shepherd! You are the herdsman of the settled people! When like Utu you impart just verdicts, xx justice, xx you call by name xx, then you, Samsu-iluna, shall be the king of the eloquent words of Utu, and you shall be the foremost of kings.
