Ninurta - Tumblr Posts

Ninurta, as you pass by, like a terrifyingly fierce lion you make heaven and earth tremble from east to west. -An adab to Ninurta for Ur-Ninurta (Ur-Ninurta C)

Hail to Ninurta, lord of the storm, whose eyes flash like lightning. Pacing the black horizon with mace in hand, you shake your hair and roar defiance at the distant mountains, who tremble at your coming. Your approach is terror to the enemy, like an onrushing flood you smash the gates and strip the lofty forests of their vanity. Your mace is the green threat of hail, your gleaming spear is a forked flash in the looming darkness. At your command the fields press lips to the gritty dirt and murmur adulation. Ninurta, at your glance the air goes breathless and the mountains howl with bloodless fear. Lion of the stormwinds crowned in gleaming rainbows, may your name resound on the lips of the black-headed ones forever and ever.
