The table contains a hymn to the creator of the Universe and a listing of his fifty names corresponding to the manifestations of his power (lines 1-142).
Magnifying with fifty names, great gods,
Fifty names were named, his deeds were proclaimed.
May they be held, may the First open them,
May the wise and knowledgeable consider them together!
The father will repeat them and teach his son,
Ruler, shepherd, let their ears listen!
To Marduk, Enlil of the gods, let them not be careless!
May the country bloom and he himself be in good health!
His Word is strong, his Orders are unchangeable,
What comes from his mouth cannot be canceled by any of the gods!
If he looks angrily, he will not bow his neck,
No one can contradict his fury!
You can’t comprehend his heart, you can’t comprehend his mind.
The sinner, the unrighteous will appear before his eyes!
This is the revelation that was revealed to the First,
Having written it down, he kept it so that they would know it in the future.
Father Marduk, who created the gods, Igigov,
May they glorify him forever, may his name be called!
Let them hear a majestic song about Marduk,
About the one who overpowered Tiamat and took the kingdom for himself!
