"Thou makest the Nile in the Nether World, Thou bringest it at thy desire, to preserve the people alive. O lord of them all, when feebleness is in them, O lord of every house, who risest for them, O sun of day, the fear of every distant land, Thou makest [also] their life. Thou hast set a Nile in heaven, That it may fall for them, Making floods upon the mountains, like the great sea; And watering their fields among their towns.How excellent are thy designs, O lord of eternity! The Nile in heaven is for the strangers, And for the cattle of every land, that go upon their feet; But the Nile, it cometh from the nether world for Egypt.Thus thy rays nourish every garden, When thou risest they live, and grow by thee."
