Transliteration and translation of the papyrus


Part Three: the king as the shelter of Egypt


How great is the lord for his city! he is a million arms, a thousand men are little beside
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is the dam that stops the river at its torrents of water
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is the cool room that allows every man to sleep to daybreak
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is a rampart, in the bronze of Shesem
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is a refuge, unwavering his hand
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is a shelter, rescuing the fearful from his enemy
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is a sunshade at Flood, cool in Summer
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is a warm corner, dry in Winter time
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is a mountain resisting the storm at the time the sky rages
How great is the lord for his city! indeed he is Sekhmet against the enemies who tread on [his?] border
