From the Coffin Texts
I am Heru, the great Falcon upon the ramparts of the house of
him of the hidden name. My flight has reached the horizon. I have passed by the
gods of Nut. I have gone further than the gods of old. Even the most ancient
bird could not equal my very first flight. I have removed my place beyond the
powers of Set, the foe of my father Wesir. No other god could do what I have
done. I have brought the ways of eternity to the twilight of the morning. I am
unique in my flight. My wrath will be turned against the enemy of my father
Osiris and I will put him beneath my feet in my name of "Red Cloak."
Simple praise
Praise to You, Great of Magic – let my speech be true and powerful,
Praise to You, Lofty One – may I earn honour as You earned Your crown,
Praise to You, Pillar of His Mother – may I honour my Mother as You have Yours,
Praise to You, Saviour – protect my ka in life and in judgement.
By Temwaenbast, based upon a prayer written by Undenetyinepu
