介绍（中）	马尔杜克神在公元前两千年初首次成为重要的神，当时巴比伦（在其最著名的国王汉谟拉比的统治下）成为一个巴比伦大国的首都。马尔杜克在万神殿中的重要性随着巴比伦城的名声而上升，因此在后来的时期他是至高无上的神。这首赞美诗赞美马尔杜克是宇宙的统治者，这一主题也出现在例如伟大的巴比伦创造史诗《埃努马·伊莱什》中。其中一行要求上帝分配王权徽章，这可能是因为这段文字与加冕仪式有关或在加冕仪式中使用这首赞美诗用楔形文字整齐地刻在石碑上，写于公元前一千年末，当时古老的书写系统不再用于通信或管理目的。文本是双语的，在早已消亡的苏美尔语和阿卡德语的翻译之间交替。这块石碑和其他几块石碑很可能属于居住在巴比伦的哀歌歌手图书馆。在公元前一千年后期，这些邪教专家继续使用楔形文字书写系统来复制古代文学和科学作品。只保留了石碑的中间部分。
介绍（英）	The god Marduk first became an important god in the early second millennium B.C., when Babylon (under its most famous king, Hammurabi) became the capital city of a large Babylonian state. Marduk’s importance in the pantheon of gods rose with the fame of the city of Babylon, so that in later periods he was the supreme deity. This hymn celebrates Marduk as the ruler of the universe, a theme that also appears in, e.g., the great Babylonian creation epic known as Enuma Elish. One line requests that the god assigns the insignia of kingship, and it may be that this text was somehow related to or used during coronation rituals. Neatly inscribed on a clay tablet using the cuneiform script, this hymn was written in the late 1st millennium B.C., when the antique writing system was no longer used for communication or administration purposes. The text is bilingual, alternating between lines in the long-dead Sumerian language and translations into the Akkadian language. This tablet, along with several others, most likely belongs to a library of lamentation singers who resided in Babylon. In the late 1st millennium B.C., such cultic specialists continued to use the cuneiform writing system to copy ancient literary and scientific works. Only the middle of the tablet is preserved.
