notes
[8] móður (f. dat. sg.) ‘to the mother’: Móðir (f. nom. sg.) ‘mother’ (so 713) makes very little sense in this context (‘may all kinds of people and the mother of the Lord provide glory to him’), and the emendation is in keeping with earlier eds.

Such promises of hers are very hopeful for men, and may each man let tears and holy prayers and pure repentance accompany the agitated heart. We must honour the magnificent ruler of the rain-hall [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)] for our redemption from sins; may all kinds of people provide glory to him and to the mother of the Lord [= Mary] in heaven and on earth.
