king Of Gods

After the glorious battle

Where Marduk destroyed Tiamat

He split her body into several parts

And created Earth and Heaven

Next came celestial bodies

The sun and the moon and the stars

All he designed in an everlasting circle of the year

All the gods were stunned

By his splendid majesty

And so they started praising

Hail, hail, king of gods

Marduk the creator

Hail, hail, king of gods

No one will be greater

Hail, hail, king of gods

Reinforce and guide us

Hail, hail, king of gods

Praise the new and holy king

"Bring me this devilish traitor

Qingu will pay for his deeds

Out of his blood we'll create the first men

To impose on them our burden"

After creation of mankind

Marduk took rest from his work

He settled down in his "Esagil" in holy Babylon

All the gods were stunned

By his splendid majesty

And so they started praising

Hail, hail, king of gods

Marduk the creator

Hail, hail, king of gods

No one will be greater

Hail, hail, king of gods

Reinforce and guide us

Hail, hail, king of gods

Praise the new and holy king

These were the tales

These were the tales of Marduk's rise

And how he built his great kingdom

Spread all the tales

Spread all the tales into the world

Spread all the tales until the end of time

Hail, hail, king of gods

Marduk the creator

Hail, hail, king of gods

No one will be greater

Hail, hail, king of gods

Reinforce and guide us

Hail, hail, king of gods

Praise the new and holy king
