Hymn to Ma'at
E.A. Wallis Budge, 1895
✦
Hail to you, Ma'at, great goddess, daughter of Ra, lady of truth and justice! You are the feather against which all hearts are weighed. You are the order that upholds heaven and earth. Let my heart balance with your feather. Let my deeds be remembered in your name. I have spoken your truth, I have eaten your bread, I have drunk from your cup of righteousness.
