Bishop, listen to the appropriate strand of praise of glorious power.
[1] bæran ‘appropriate’: The adj. bærr lit. means ‘suitable to be spread around’ or ‘suitable, well-deserved’, etymologically derived from the strong verb bera ‘carry’ (so TGT 1884, 184, following Jón Þorkelsson, pers. comm.). See ESk Run 3/3II and Note there.
