Amun was the patron god from the New Kingdom onwards. His cult center was at Thebes.
Praisegiving to Amun.
I make for him adorations to his name,
I give him praises to the height of heaven,
And over the breadth of the earth,
I tell his might to travelers north and south:
Beware ye of him!
Declare him to son and daughter,
| To the great and small, |
| Not yet born; |
| To birds in the sky, |
You are Amun, the Lord of the silent,
Who comes at the voice of the poor;
When I call to you in my distress,
You come to rescue me,
To give breath to him who is wretched,
To rescue me from bondage.
You are Amen-Re, Lord of Thebes,
Who rescues him who is in dat;
For you are he who is merciful,
When one appeals to you,
You are he who comes from afar.
Made by the draftsman of Amun in the Palace-of-Truth, Nebre, justified, son of the draftsman in the Palace-of-Truth, Pay, justified, to the name of his Lord Amun, Lord of Thebes, who comes at the voice of the poor.
