Hverr es greppr, sás gerra,
grunnúðigr, þér unna,
— slíkr hǫfum synða auki
sótt — heimstǫðu dróttinn.
Þú biðr ǫlð, en aðrir,
almáttigr guð, sátta,
ýta ferð at yrði
aldýr, sǫkum valda.
Hverr greppr, sás gerra unna þér, es grunnúðigr, {dróttinn heimstǫðu}; slíkr auki synða hǫfum sótt. Almáttigr guð, þú biðr ǫlð sátta, at {ýta ferð} yrði aldýr, en aðrir valda sǫkum.
‘Every man who does not love you is simple-minded, Lord of the world [= God]; such an increase of sins has visited us [me]. Almighty God, you ask mankind for settlement, so that the race of men [MANKIND] might become blessed, but others cause offences.’
