I asset my claim of umcompromising 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 aching body is the sky Her nakedness' the skin on which the stars rest
I am Atum-Khepri who came into being of himself
I am he who opened a door in the sky Who rules from his throne and judgeth 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 hardness 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 on 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 power who claim to be divine
