1 The sky is washed clean,
without clouds in it,
Foremost of Nedjem-ankh80 is risen
within it,
just like He who rises in Gold in the beginning,
the child in the right eye.81
Foremost of the Lands of the Gods
is the pillar of air,
as he sails across the sky;
Neha-her is subdued in his hour.
Gods and goddesses,
their hearts are pleased,
and the sunfolk make praises before him.
Foremost of Per-netjer stops (ʿḥʿ)
at noon (ʿḥʿy),
as the Ba with four (heads)
upon one 2 neck,82
producing meals
for the Guardian Deities in the shrines
from his own temple service,
as he has been justified over Apophis,
having made his enemies non-existent;83
his solar rays go around
throughout the Shores of Horus,
and mortals84 are enlivened
(merely) from seeing him.

As he illumined his day
with his right eye (the sun),
in his good manifestation
of Foremost of Neb-ankh,
so he dispelled darkness
with his left eye (the night-sun?)85
in his visible form
of Foremost of the Land of God,
3 rejuvenating the body
of the god86 in the West,
namely as a rejuvenated child;
the gods are pleased to behold him,
along with those within the Duat,
and those who are there (viz. the dead).

The right-eye has risen,
the left-eye is filled,
ascending and descending,
rising and setting
until this very day, forever.
May their forms endure for the limits of eternity!
