Anonymous Sumerian · Ur III / Old Babylonian (c. 2100–1600 BCE)

Your city is august; your house is august. Your divine powers are august; your lustration rites are august. The commands of your kingship are august; the cry of your heroism is august. Ninurta, the son of Enlil, xx is august. When you come forth from the house of xx, your tall shadow hangs over the Land; from the south as far as the highlands, it covers the Land like a garment.
