(474) 939 To say: "How beautiful indeed it is to see," says she, said Isis; 939 "how fortunate indeed it is to see," says she, said Nephthys 939 to the king, to this Osiris N., 940 as he ascends to heaven among the stars, among the imperishable stars, 940 the lion-helmet (renown) of N. on his head, 940 his terror on both sides of him, his magic preceding him! 941 N. goes therewith to his mother Nut; 941 N. climbs upon her, in this her name of "Ladder." 941 The gods who inhabit heaven are brought to thee; they unite for thee with the gods who inhabit the earth, 941 that thou mayest be with them, that thou mayest go on their arms. 942 The Souls of Buto are brought to thee; the Souls of Hierakonpolis are united for thee. 942 "All belongs to N.," 942 so said Geb, who has spoken thereof with Atum.

O may it be pleasing to thee. 592 Isis has taken care of thee. 592 The heart of Horus is glad because of thee in thy name of "He who is First of the Westerners." 592 It is Horus who will avenge what Set has done to thee.

(369) 640 To say: O Osiris N., stand up. Horus has caused thee to stand up. 640 Geb has caused Horus to see his father in thee, in thy name of "He of the royal castle." 641 Horus has given the gods to thee; he has brought them to thee, so that they may illuminate thy face. 641 Horus has given his eye to thee, that thou mayest see with it. 642 Horus has placed thine enemy under thee, 642 that he may carry thee, that thou be not far from him, 642 and that thou mayest come (again) in thy (former) state. The gods have bound (again) thy face to thee. 643 Horus has opened thine eye for thee, that thou mayest see with it, in her (the eye) name of "Opener of the way." 643 Thine enemy is smitten by the children of Horus; they made his smiting red (bloody); 643 they have punished him; he is severely punished, so that his smell is evil. 644 Horus has fitted thy mouth to thee; he has adjusted for thee thy mouth to thy bones. 644 Horus has opened thy mouth for thee; 644 thy beloved son has re-instated thy two eyes for thee. 644 Horus does not permit thy face to be without the power to see, 644 in thy name of "Horus chief of his subjects."

Stand up, Osiris, 1199 commend N. to those who are on "m is joyous" north of the Marsh of Offerings, 1199 like as thou didst commend Horus to Isis the day that thou didst impregnate her, 1200 that they may give food to N. in the fields, 1200 and that he may drink at the sources 1200 in the Marsh of Offerings.

The sky trembles, the earth quakes before the god, before N. 2110 N. [is not enveloped] by the earth; 2110 'I.t-wt.t, thou art not enveloped by the earth. 2110 Thy fame is by day; thy fear is by night, as a god, lord of f ear. 2110 Thou commandest the gods like the mighty one, chief of the mighty. 2111. [O] Osiris, the overflow comes, the inundation hastens, Geb groans. 2112 I have pitied thee with pity; I have smitten him who acted with evil (intent) against thee; 2112 that thou mayest live, that thou mayest raise thyself up because of thy strength. 2113. O N., [the inundation comes 1, [the overflow hastens], Geb [groans]. 2114 Exult in the divine efflux which is in thee; let thy heart live; 214 thy divine limbs are in good condition; loosen thy bindings. 2115 Horus comes to thee, N.; he does for thee that which he did for his father Osiris, 2115 that thou mayest live like unto the life of those in heaven, and [that thou mayest come into being] more (truly) than those who are on earth. 2116 Raise thyself up because of thy strength; ascend thou to heaven. 2116 The sky bears thee like 3; thou hast power over thy body; 2116 thou defendest thyself against thine enemy. 2117. [O N.] [I have wept for thee], I have mourned for thee; 2118 I shall not forget thee; my heart will not weary to give thee offerings every day, 2118 at the (feast of the) month, at the (feast of the) half month, at the (feast of) covering the fire-pan, at the (feast of) Thot, at the wgfeast, 2118 at the (feast of) slaughtering, (at) the (feast of) thy years, (at) (the feast of) thy birth, at the beginnings of thy months, during which thou livest as a god. 2119.
