The Shepherd's Psalm for Nanna
"He (Nanna) gave his word in the purity of his heart that like a shepherd, he would guide the living, return the land to their hands, put water in their midst, and make their days long." (Karki, stor 49 sub Waradsin 29; clay cylinder)
The next 15 lines are missing of the the clay cylinder from during the reign of Waradsin. I wonder if they too would sound similar to Psalm 23 in the bible.
"The Lord (YHVH) is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul... And I will dwell in the house of the Lord (YHVH) forever."
