Line	English
surface a 1	I would praise the lord of wisdom, the circumspect god,
surface a 2	who rages at night, reconciling by day;
surface a 3	Marduk, lord of wisdom, circumspect god,
surface a 4	who rages at night, reconciling by day;
surface a 5	who like a storm, a whilrwind, causes desolation his rage,
surface a 6	and (then) as a breeze of the morning, his breath sweet;
surface a 7	in his anger unapproachable, a flood his fury;
surface a 8	attentive his mind, his liver is merciful;
surface a 9	the n. of whose hand cannot bear the heavens,
surface a 10	whose tender hand holds back the dead;
surface a 11	Marduk, the n. of whose hand cannot bear the heavens,
surface a 12	whose tender hand holds back the dead;
surface a 13	through whose rage are opened the graves,
surface a 14	then from disaster he raised the fallen;
surface a 15	he frowns, do exit the guardian and protective spirit,
surface a 16	he looks on, and to the one whom he pushed away, his god turns;
surface a 17	where momentarily his overbearing punishment is heavy,
surface a 18	yet he showed pity, and turns into his own mother,
surface a 19	He becomes pointed, and his inner wild bull butts,
surface a 20	then like a cow to calf, he constantly turns round to his back;
surface a 21	stinging are his beatings, piercing the body,
surface a 22	cooling his bandages, reviving the deceased;
surface a 23	he speaks, and sin spreads,
surface a 24	yet on the day of his prosperity, excused are obligation and guilt;
surface a 25	he is it who utukku and tremors lets have,
surface a 26	yet his spell drives away frost and chills;
surface a 27	who multiplies the flooding of Adad, the blows of Erra,
surface a 28	yet who placates the angry god and goddess;
surface a 29	the lord the entire stomach of the gods inspects,
surface a 30	and no one among the gods his path knows,
surface a 31	Marduk the entire stomach of the gods inspects,
surface a 32	but no god comes to understand his mind;
surface a 33	as heavy his hand, so his stomach merciful,
surface a 34	as cruel his weapons, so his liver revives;
surface a 35	absent his stomach, who his blows would pacify?
surface a 36	Without his weightiness, who would causes to hang his hands?
surface a 37	I would glorify his wrath, as one who like fish ate mud,
surface a 38	he penalized as quickly as he revives the dead;
surface a 39	how near is their salvation,
surface a 40	that his good remembrance would their sins lift;
surface a 41	on the day the lord punished me,
surface a 42	the hero Marduk became angry with me,
surface a 43	rejects me my god, up his mountain went,
surface a 44	ceased my goddess, went to the foriegn region,
surface a 45	split away the good šēdu-spirit of my side,
surface a 46	fearful was my lamassu-spirit, a second one sought out,
surface a 47	taken away was my strength, my manliness darkened;
surface a 48	my essence flew off, onto the roof jumped,
surface a 49	established for me were the signs of terror,
surface a 50	expelled from my house, outside I wandered;
surface a 51	confused were my omens, swollen all day,
surface a 52	with diviner and dream interpreter, my path is not distinct;
surface a 53	in the entry of the street, ominous my oracular expressions,
surface a 54	I lay down in the second watch, and my dream was frightening:
surface a 55	the king, flesh of the gods, sun of his people,
surface a 56	his stomach was knotted up, and he was making its loosening very difficult,
surface a 57	the administrators slander let constantly fly against me,
surface a 58	gathered themselves, and made stick maliciousness.
surface a 59	If the first one: ‟His life I'll make him pour out,”
surface a 60	is saying the second, “I’ll raise (him) up from his post;”
surface a 61	who like the third, “his appointment I will seize."
surface a 62	“I will enter in his house,” the fourth swears
surface a 63	the fifth: “the mouth of the lung was turned over,”
surface a 64	the sixth and seventh follow in his šēdu-spirit.
surface a 65	They joined up against me, the band of seven, their gang;
surface a 66	like a storm without mercy, evil demons matching,
surface a 67	and one was their flesh, and each by (word of) mouth making known,
surface a 68	raging against me, burning like a fire,
surface a 69	malicious talk and obstruction they cause to join forces against me,
surface a 70	my noble mouth as with a bridle they bound,
surface a 71	my lips that were in constant motion became as to a deaf man;
surface a 72	my loud roar escaped into silence;
surface a 73	my high head bowed to the ground;
surface a 74	my fulsome stomach the horror weakened;
surface a 75	my broad chest, into (that of) a small man changed;
surface a 76	my far-reaching arms were bound together;
surface a 77	I who as a lord was walking, to crawl I learned;
surface a 78	I was such a one as was prideful, but I turned into a slave;
surface a 79	(born) to an extended family, I became a loner;
surface a 80	the street I am traversing, and stretched out are fingers;
surface a 81	I enter to the palace, and in fast movement are the eyes;
surface a 82	my city, like an enemy, is looking at me with an evil eye.
surface a 83	It was as a furious enemy, my land;
surface a 84	into a stranger my brother turned;
surface a 85	into an evil one and a gallê-demon has turned my friend;
surface a 86	an enraged companion denounces me;
surface a 87	my colleague always dirties the weapon;
surface a 88	my sweet friend cuts off my life;
surface a 89	openly in an assembly cursed me my male slave;
surface a 90	my female slave before gatherings slander against me spoke;
surface a 91	an acquaintance saw me, and he leaned in to the the corner;
surface a 92	as one not of its flesh established me my family;
surface a 93	for who spoke of my goodness, opened up for him a tomb;
surface a 94	who swore to my slander was moved to the head;
surface a 95	who pronounced my defamation, a god was his aid;
surface a 96	to the one who said “Mercy!,” quickly to him came death;
surface a 97	who was not hesitant, swore health his šēdu (spirit);
surface a 98	I had no-one at my side, mercy I did not experience;
surface a 99	to the bands and thugs they distributed all that I own;
surface a 100	the mouth of my river they measured out with silt;
surface a 101	from my farmlands they sent out the work song;
surface a 102	like the city of an enemy, they let grow silent my city;
surface a 103	my offices they let take another;
surface a 104	and to my cultic duties a stranger they stationed.
surface a 105	A day of weariness, a night of wailing;
surface a 106	a month of anxious silence, misery the year;
surface a 107	like a dove I mourn all my days,
surface a 108	singers my lamentation make loud;
surface a 109	in constant weaping were caused to see my eyes;
surface a 110	fifty times over, in tears burned my cheeks;
surface a 111	blackened my face the darkness of my stomach;
surface a 112	my skin turned yellow did terror and panic,
surface a 113	the ‘sources’ of my stomach in constant panic trembled,
surface a 114	it burned like a thousand suns,
surface a 115	like a flame blazing turned my supplication;
surface a 116	like strife and brawl was my prayer,
surface a 117	I sweetened my lips, like a lance stiff,
surface a 118	like salt I swore, a bolt is my interpreter;
surface a 119	I hope, at daybreak comes a good thing to me;
surface a 120	the moon becomes visible, shines my sun.
surface a 1	I survived to the next year; the appointed time passed.
surface a 2	As I turn round, it is terrible, it is so terrible;
surface a 3	My ill luck has increased, and I do not find the right.
surface a 4	I called to my god, but he did not show his face,
surface a 5	I prayed to my goddess, but she did not raise her head.
surface a 6	The diviner with his inspection has not got to the root of the matter,
surface a 7	nor with a libation has the dream interpreter elucidated my case.
surface a 8	I sought the favor of the zaqzīqu-spirit, but he did not enlighten me;
surface a 9	And the incantation priest with his ritual did not appease the divine wrath against me.
surface a 10	What strange conditions everywhere!
surface a 11	When I look behind, there is persecution, trouble.
surface a 12	Like one who has not made libations to his god,
surface a 13	Nor invoked his goddess at table,
surface a 14	Does not engage in prostration, nor takes cognizance of bowing down;
surface a 15	From whose mouth supplication and prayer is lacking,
surface a 16	Who has done nothing on holy days, and despised sabbaths,
surface a 17	Who in his negligence has despised the gods’ rites,
surface a 18	Has not taught his people reverence and worship,
surface a 19	But has eaten his food without invoking his god,
surface a 20	And abandoned his goddess by not bringing a flour offering,
surface a 21	Like one who has grown torpid and forgotten his lord,
surface a 22	Has frivolously sworn a solemn oath by his god, (like such an one) do I appear.
surface a 23	For myself, I gave attention to supplication and prayer:
surface a 24	To me prayer was discretion, sacrifice my rule.
surface a 25	The day for reverencing the god was a joy to my heart;
surface a 26	The day of the goddess’s procession was profit and gain to me.
surface a 27	The king’s prayer-that was my joy,
surface a 28	And the accompanying music became a delight for me.
surface a 29	I instructed my land to keep the god’s rites,
surface a 30	And provoked my people to value the goddess’s name.
surface a 31	I made praise for the king like a god’s,
surface a 32	And taught the populace reverence for the palace.
surface a 33	I wish I knew that these things were pleasing to one’s god!
surface a 34	What is proper to oneself is an offence to one’s god,
surface a 35	What in one’s own heart seems despicable is proper to one’s god,
surface a 36	Who knows the will of the gods in heaven?
surface a 37	Who understands the plans of the underworld gods?
surface a 38	Where have mortals learnt the way of a god?
surface a 39	He who was alive yesterday is dead today.
surface a 40	For a minute he was dejected, suddenly he is exuberant,
surface a 41	One moment people are singing in exaltation,
surface a 42	Another they groan like professional mourners.
surface a 43	Their condition changes like opening and shutting (the legs).
surface a 44	When starving they become like corpses,
surface a 45	When replete they vie with their gods.
surface a 46	In prosperity they speak of scaling heaven,
surface a 47	Under adversity they complain of going down to hell.
surface a 48	I am appalled at these things; I do not understand their significance.
surface a 49	As for me, the exhausted one, a tempest is driving me!
surface a 50	Debilitating Disease is let loose upon me:
surface a 51	An Evil Wind has blown from the horizon,
surface a 52	Headache has sprung up from the surface of the underworld,
surface a 53	An Evil Cough has left its Apsu,
surface a 54	The irresistible Ghost left Ekur,
surface a 55	The Lamastu-demon came down from the Mountain,
surface a 56	Cramp set out from ... the flood,
surface a 57	Impotence cleaves the ground along with the grass.
surface a 58	... their host, fogether they came on me.
surface a 59	... head, they enveloped my skull;
surface a 60	My face is gloomy, my eyes are in flood.
surface a 61	They have wrenched my neck muscles and taken the strength from my neck.
surface a 62	They struck my chest, drubbing my breast.
surface a 63	They affected my flesh and caused convulsions,
surface a 64	In my epigastrium they kindled a fire.
surface a 65	They upset my bowels ... .
surface a 66	Causing the discharge of phlegm, they brought on a fever in my lungs.
surface a 67	They caused fever in my limbs and made my fat quake.
surface a 68	My lofty stature they destroyed like a wall,
surface a 69	My robust figure they laid down like a bulrush,
surface a 70	I am thrown down like a bog plant and cast on my face.
surface a 71	The alu-demon has clothed himself in my body as with a garment;
surface a 72	Sleep covers me like a net.
surface a 73	My eyes stare, but do not see,
surface a 74	My ears are open, but do not hear.
surface a 75	Feebleness has seized my whole body,
surface a 76	Concussion has fallen upon my flesh.
surface a 77	Paralysis has grasped my arms,
surface a 78	Impotence has fallen on my knees,
surface a 79	My feet forget their motion.
surface a 80	A stroke has got me; I choke like someone prostrate.
surface a 81	... death, it has covered my face.
surface a 82	The dream priest mentions me, but I do not respond.
surface a 83	... weep, but I have no control of my faculties.
surface a 84	A snare is . laid on my mouth,
surface a 85	And a bolt bars my lips.
surface a 86	My ’gate’ is barred, my ’drinking place’ blocked,
surface a 87	My hunger is prolonged, my throat stopped up.
surface a 88	When grain is served, I eat it like stinkweed,
surface a 89	Beer, the life of mankind, is distasteful to me.
surface a 90	My malady is indeed protracted.
surface a 91	Through lack of food my countenance is changed,
surface a 92	My flesh is flaccid, and my blood has ebbed away.
surface a 93	My bones have corne apart, and are covered (only) with my skin.
surface a 94	My tissues are inflamed, and have caught the ...-disease.
surface a 95	I take to a bed of bondage; going out is a pain;
surface a 96	My house has become my prison.
surface a 97	My arms are stricken-which shackles my flesh;
surface a 98	My feet are limp-which fetters my person.
surface a 99	My afflictions are grievous, my wound is severe.
surface a 100	A scourge has thrown me down, the stroke is intense.
surface a 101	The crop pierces me and the spur is severe.
surface a 102	All day long the tormentor torments me,
surface a 103	Nor at night does he let me relax for a minute.
surface a 104	Through twisting my sinews are parted,
surface a 105	My limbs are splayed and knocked apart.
surface a 106	I spend the night in my dung like an ox,
surface a 107	And wallow in my excrement like a sheep.
surface a 108	My complaints have exposed the incantation priest,
surface a 109	And my omens have confounded the diviner.
surface a 110	The exorcist has not diagnosed the nature of my complaint,
surface a 111	Nor has the diviner put a time limit on my illness.
surface a 112	My god has not come to the rescue in taking me by the hand,
surface a 113	Nor has my goddess shown pity on me by going at my side.
surface a 114	My grave was waiting, and my funerary paraphernalia ready,
surface a 115	Before I had died lamentation for me was finished.
surface a 116	All my country said, “How he is crushed!”
surface a 117	The face of him who gloats lit up when he heard,
surface a 118	The tidings reached her who gloats, and her heart rejoiced.
surface a 119	But I know the day for my whole family,
surface a 120	When, among my friends, their Sun will have mercy.
surface a 1	Heavy his hand, I was not able to bear it,
surface a 2	frightening was his fearsomeness ...
surface a 3	his punishment fiece was a flood, and ...
surface a 4	arduous was his way, ...
surface a 5	the severe disease was heavy. My self not ...
surface a 6	of my wakefullness I was forgetful; they make me wander ...
surface a 7	day and night alike I was wailing;
surface a 8	dream, daydream equally are insufferable for me,
surface a 9	one young man, superior in form,
surface a 10	in physique prideful, clothed in robe,
surface a 11	because in my dreaming he was of tremendous stature,,
surface a 12	in fearsome radiance he was covered, clothed in awe,
surface a 13	he entered and stood over me.
surface a 14	I saw him, paralyzed my flesh,
surface a 15	and he said, “Your lord sent me.”
surface a 16	Saying: ‘Let the deathly sick one expect his recovery!’”
surface a 17	“Gather, and I will speak of their thoughts,
surface a 18	those people whom the king has sent.”
surface a 19	They grew silent; no one answered me, but
surface a 20	those who heard me I was observing.
surface a 21	A second time, a dream I see,
surface a 22	in the dream that I saw at night,
surface a 23	one cleansing priest carrying a water basin
surface a 24	a purifying tamarisk grasped in his hand:
surface a 25	“Laluralima, sorceress of Nippur,
surface a 26	to purify you sent me.”
surface a 27	water that he carried over me he poured,
surface a 28	a healing spell he cast, rubbed on my body.
surface a 29	A third time, a dream I see,
surface a 30	in the dream that I saw at night,
surface a 31	one maiden, beautiful her countenance,
surface a 32	like a lion dressed, a god equal,
surface a 33	a queen of the people ...
surface a 34	she entered, and sat at my side,
surface a 35	saying, “Enough! Greatly he was distressed.
surface a 36	Do not fear!” She said to me and made firm my stomach.
surface a 37	and in whatever dream he saw, ...
surface a 38	and she said, “Enough! Greatly he was distressed.”
surface a 39	anyone who in the second watch of the night witnessed a vision.
surface a 40	In the dream Ur-Nintinuga I see,
surface a 41	a bearded young man, bearing his crown,
surface a 42	an incanttion priest carrying a writing board:
surface a 43	“Marduk sent me,
surface a 44	for Šubši-mešrē-Šakkan I brought a bandage.”
surface a 45	In his pure hands, he brought a bandage,
surface a 46	for my personal assistant into his hand he entrusted,
surface a 47	in the dream he sent the message,
surface a 48	his favorable sign to my people he revealed,
surface a 49	from sickness the snake coiled had stolen away,
surface a 50	my illness suddenly was passed, broken my cuffs,
surface a 51	since my lord’s stomach has calmed,
surface a 52	of merciful Marduk his liver released,
surface a 53	he took my petition, the requests ...
surface a 54	his good attention he uncovered ...,
surface a 55	saying, “Enough! Greatly is he troubled.”
surface a 56	his ... to proclaim ...
surface a 57	... to labor and ...
surface a 58	... the sin ...
surface a 59	... divine punishment ...
surface a 60	... my guilt ...
surface a 61	my transgressions he let carry off the wind,
surface a 67	... like ...
surface a 68	He has brought near his spell instead of cough,
surface a 69	he has driven away Evil Wind to the horizon;
surface a 70	to the edge of the netherworld, he took away the dī’u(-disease),
surface a 71	he has sent down to its Deep the evil cough;
surface a 72	the irresistible utukku he sent back to Ekur,
surface a 73	he overwhelmed Lamaštu, to the mountain he let her climb up;
surface a 74	the crowns of the seas the chill he made take away,
surface a 75	the base of debility he tore out like grass;
surface a 76	my bad sleep, poured out restfulness,
surface a 77	like smoke that filled the heavens he sent off;
surface a 78	woe and grief, pushing and shaking,
surface a 79	he made rise like a fog and made descend to the netherworld;
surface a 80	persistent headache, like a grinding-stone heavy,
surface a 81	he lifted like dew of the night, from me he removed;
surface a 82	my afflicted eyes that were covered with the pall of the death,
surface a 83	he made rise a multitude of double-hours; he made bright my vision;
surface a 84	from my ears that were clogged and blocked like those of a deaf person,
surface a 85	he took away their obstruction, he opened my hearing;
surface a 86	my nose that in pursuit of fever was stopped its breathing,
surface a 87	he soothed its affliction and I breathed immediately;
surface a 88	from my lips, that were raging and taking harsh words,
surface a 89	he wiped away their terror and loosened their knot;
surface a 90	my mouth, that was covered and for speaking stiff,
surface a 91	he polished like a qû-(jar), its filth he wiped away;
surface a 92	my teeth, caught and as one bound,
surface a 93	he opened their restraints and their roots let speak;
surface a 94	the tongue, bound and to wag unable,
surface a 95	its fatty coating he cleared and sharp was my speech;
surface a 96	for the windpipe, shut up and stopped as with a lump,
surface a 97	he relieved the chest that like a reed pipe he let sing;
surface a 98	the larynx, blocked up and unable to get air,
surface a 99	its scales he sent straight off and its blockage opened;
surface a 100	... of mine are high, its rain ...
surface a 101	... piled-up high, he pours on ...
surface a 102	... veiled like being buried, ...
surface a 103	his ..., a song ....
surface a 104'	The large intestine, in hunger raised, like a basket joined together,
surface a 105'	... water, its meadow, ...
surface a 106'	it shall receive meal, it shall bring the drink.
surface a 107'	... I flourished ...
surface a 1	My neck, whose roots become loose and bent down,
surface a 2	he made strong the mountain and like a fir-tree fixed it upright;
surface a 3	to that of a wrestler my physical power he made equal;
surface a 4	like a boil taking out, he trimmed my finger-nails;
surface a 5	he drove out their fatigue, their filth made good;
surface a 6'	Like a tower ...,
surface a 7'	inside ...
surface a 8'	My knees, bound and like a partridge cramped,

surface a 6	up from the grave dug me;
surface a 7	from the annihilation raised me;

surface a 13	made fall his weapon did Marduk;
surface a 14	in the mouth of the lion devouring me
surface a 15	put a muzzle did Marduk;
surface a 16	Marduk, that of my capturer,
surface a 17	took away his sling, his sling-stone turned away;
surface a 18	from the hand of my burier the spade he took away;
surface a 19	from the hands of my male wailer made fall the harp?;
surface a 20	the mouth of the female wailer from wailing stopped;
surface a 21	the mouth of my ill-wisher with woe filled;

surface a 30	Who might it be? The lord released me!
surface a 31	let life quickly come to an end!
surface a 32	to the netherworld I am descending!
surface a 33	in ghostliness I am wandering around!
surface a 34	Who might it be? Marduk spared me.
