O Sîn, brilliant god, who renders the decision, who reveals signs, for Sargon, king of the world, king of the land of Ashur, governor of Babylon, king of the land of Sumer and Akkad, builder of your cella: Look upon him in the earnestness of your heart and make your countenance of justice spread out over him. Bestow upon him a long life of good health. Decree years of joy as his fate. Make his reign endure as long as (does) the heavens and the earth. Establish his throne over the four quarters (of the world).
