Hymn to the Goddess Nut
O Nut, you have extended yourself over your son the Osiris Pepi,
You have snatched him out of the hand of Set; join him to yourself,
Nut.You came, snatch your son; behold, you came, form this great one unto yourself.
O Nut, cast yourself upon your son the Osiris Pepi.
O Nut, cast yourself upon your son the Osiris Pepi.Form you him,
O Great Fashioner; this great one is among your children.Form you him,
O Great Fashioner; this great one is among your children. Geb Nut.
You did become a spirit.You were a mighty goddess in the womb of your mother Tefnut when you were not born. Form you Pepi with life and well-being; he shall not die.Strong was your heart,You did leap in the womb of your mother in your name of “Nut.”O perfect daughter, mighty one in your mother, who are crowned like a king of the North,
Make this Pepi a spirit-soul in you, let him not die.
O Great Lady, who did come into being in the sky, who are mighty.Who does make happy, and does fill every place (or being), with your beauty,The whole earth is under you, you have taken possession of it.
You have encompassed the earth, everything is in your two hands,Grant you that this Pepi may be in you like an imperishable star.
You have associated with Geb in thy name of “Pet” (i.e. Sky).
You have united the earth in every place. O mistress over the earth, you are above your father Shu,
You have the mastery over him.He has loved you so much that he set himself under you in everything.
You have taken possession of every god for yourself with his boat.
You have made them shine like lamps, Assuredly they shall not cease from you like the stars.Let not this Pepi depart from you in thy name of “Hert”
