I am the Great One making his illumination. I have come before you, Osiris; I adore you, cleansed from your emanations. Lead on, let the name of Re-staw not be made against him. Homage to you, Osiris, in your might and your strength in Re-staw; your might supports you, Osiris, in Abydos. You circle around heaven; you sail yourself in front of Ra. You have seen all the people which Ra circles around. Behold, Osiris says, I am the divine noble one; I said, therefore let no opposition arise at its wall of kindling.

You have made for me all the beautiful ways before you.
