1–3 Come my god, my lord: may I walk before the Anunnaki! May I pass along the road!
4–5 May I hold your hand in the presence of the great gods!
6–7 May I hear the verdict! May I grasp your feet!
8–11 Since I have abandoned the house of darkness, oh my god, you make me wander through a marsh of need and hardship.
12–15 You look for me in the land of hunger; you made water and pasture precious for me in the land of thirst.
