Invocation to Ma'āt




Instruction of Ptahhotep presents Ma'at as follows:

Ma'at is good and its worth is lasting.It has not been disturbed since the day of its creator,whereas he who transgresses its ordinances is punished.It lies as a path in front even of him who knows nothing.Wrongdoing has never yet brought its venture to port.It is true that evil may gain wealth but the strength of truth is that it lasts;a man can say: "It was the property of my father.



Praise to you, Maat, daughter of Ra,

consort of god, whom Ptah loves,

The one who adorns the breast of Thoth, who

fashioned her own nature,

foremost of the souls of Heliopolis;

Who pacified the two falcon gods through  her good will,

filled the per-wer shrine with life and dominion;

Skilled one who brought forth the gods herself

and brought low the heads of enemies;

Who herself provides for the house of the All-Lord,

brings daily offerings for those who are on duty.

Magnificent her throne before the judges-

and she consumes the enemies of Atum
