CTN 4, 167 [Šu’ila to Ea][via cams/gkab]

[Incantation:] King of wisdom, creator of sagacity,

Exalted leader, one worthy of the Bit-Apsu,

Competent Ellilbanda, reverently greeted one,

Hero of Eridu, sage of the Igigi,

Lord of the Engur, protection of the ziggurat,

Bearer of flood and plenty, one who makes the rivers exult.

In seas and reed-thickets : you let abundance prosper,

On the meadow you create the life of people, (i.e.) grain.

Anu (and) Ellil are joyfully exulting over you,

The Anunnaku greet you from their shrines,

The people [of the land] praise your honoured name.

You give advice to the [great] gods.

Ea, because of your incantation of life, a dead man does not die!

Raise my head, name my name!

At your command, may my utterances be heard,

Because of your concern, may I obtain kindness,

Give me life that I may be firm forever!

May my speech be agreeable to god and king,

May god and king do what I say,

May mouth and tongue pray devoutly for me.

May [...] ... not come near me, anything evil, anything unfavourable,

[...] sorceror and sorceress,

[...] their [...] ....

[...] their chest [...]. May [the knot]

of the sorceror and sorceress release the incantation of Eridu,

May their evil knots release

the sage of the gods, Marduk.

May my limbs be clean (of illness),

May my limbs be agreeable to me.

May heaven be joyful over you, may the Apsu rejoice over you,

May the great gods celebrate you as a lord,

May the gods, the Igigi say good things about you!
