This Declaration of Sekhmet was found on the walls of the Temple of Isis at
Philae.
I am Sekhmet, the Mighty,
Foremost of the Goddesses,
Daughter of Geb,
The Sun-Goddess in the circuit of the Sun-Disc,
The Living Eye of Horus,
The Primeval One.
I am Sekhmet, the Fiery-Goddess:
I cause your arms to be strong to smite your rebels,
Your enemies are fallen under your soles;
I give you the Nine Bows gathered in your fist,
With your axe you have stricken them;
I let your mace fall upon the heads of your enemies,
In an instant you have smitten them;
I give you the power to overthrow your enemies,
While you are striking their heads with your scimitar;
I cause your strength to be as that of the raging lion,
Your power like my power;
I place North and South under your soles for you,
And the West and East bow in obeisance to you.
