I assert my claim of uncompromising empowerment
I am like as unto Atum lord of all
Whose spontaneous self-generation
Led to the appearance of the earliest Gods
And thus the material universe
There is none higher

I appear in glory as that God
Who eats men and lives on the Gods
As sun god I am reborn
From the womb of the sky goddess Nut
Her arching body is the sky
Her nakedness the skin on which the stars rest

I am AtumKhepri who came into being of himself
I am he who opened a door in the sky
Who rules from his throne and adjudgeth those who are born

I am the horned bull who rules the sky
Lord of celestial appearings
The great illuminator who came forth from fire
To harness the years
I am the jackal of jackals
I am Shu who breathes air into the limits of sky and earth

I draw unto myself all the forces of the universe
I become not merely a god but the universe itself
I am alone in making the transformation from man into god
I am released from this world of servile obligation
To false temporal powers who claim to be divine
