Anon (FoGT) 7III/2 — guð ‘God’

Hákon rieð fyr hauðri
handsterkr, þar er guð merkti
refsiþátt hinn rietta
rangri þjóð að angri.
Laust með elding æstri
alvirkr höfuðkirkju
himnagarðs hjörðum
hirðir glæpsku firðum.

Handsterkr Hákon rieð fyr hauðri, þar er guð merkti hinn rietta refsiþátt að angri rangri þjóð. Hirðir himnagarðs, alvirkr hjörðum firðum glæpsku, laust höfuðkirkju með æstri elding.

Strong-handed Hákon ruled over the land where God showed the just law of punishment to the distress of the sinful people. The shepherd of the heavens’ stronghold [SKY/HEAVEN > = God], most careful for the flocks freed from sin, struck the cathedral with raging lightning.
