Sonr sté upp með ynði
auðar mildr frá hauðri,
jǫfra beztr, til œztrar
alls ráðanda hallar.
Lofaðr sitr englum efri
— ǫðlinga hnígr þingat
dǫglings hirð — á dýrðar
dagbóls konungr stóli.
{Sonr {alls ráðanda} mildr auðar}, beztr jǫfra, sté upp með ynði frá hauðri til œztrar hallar. {Lofaðr konungr {dagbóls}} sitr efri englum á stóli dýrðar; {hirð {dǫglings ǫðlinga}} hnígr þingat.
‘The son of the ruler of all [= God], generous with riches [= Christ], the best of princes, ascended with joy from earth to the highest hall. The praised king of the day-home [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)] sits above the angels on the throne of majesty; the cohort of the prince of princes [= God > THE BLESSED] bows down to him [lit. to there, to it].’
