 How manifold, what thou hast made!
    hidden from the face.
    One, like whom there is no other!
    Thou didst create the world according to thy desire,
    Whilst thou wert alone: All men, cattle, and wild beasts,
    What is on earth, going upon feet,
    And what is on high, flying with wings.

 The countries of Syria and Nubia, the land of Egypt,
    Thou settest every man in his place,
    Thou suppliest their needs:
    Everyone has food, and his time of life is reckoned.
    Their tongues are separate,
    their natures as well;
    Their skins are distinguished,
    As thou distinguishest the foreign peoples.
    Thou makest a Nile in the underworld,
    brought forth as thou desirest
    To maintain the people
    as thou madest them,
    The lord of all, wearying with them,
    The lord of every land, rising for them,
    The Aten of the day, great of majesty.
