Nebuchadnezzar and Marduk

When Nebuchadnezzar [the king] dwelt in Babylon,
He would roar like a lion, would rum[ble] like thunder,
His illustrious great men would roar like lions.
[His] prayers went up to Marduk, lord of Babylon,
"Have mercy on me, in despair and pros[trate],*
"Have mercy on my land, which weeps and mourns,
"Have mercy on my people, who wail and weep!
"How long, O lord of Babylon,
Will you dwell in the land of the enemy?
"May beautiful Babylon pass through your heart,
"Turn your face towards Esagila which you love!"
[The lord of Babylon] heeded Nebuchadnezzar [‘s prayer],
[ ] befell him from heaven,
"I command you with my own lips,
"[A word of] good fortune do I send you:
"[With] my [help?] you will attack the Westland.
"Heed yur instructions, [ ]
"Take me [from El]am to Babylon.
"I, [lord of Bab]ylon, will surely give you Elam,
"[I will exalt] your [kingshp] everywhere."
