[Icelandic]



Heill dagr.

Heilir dags synir.

Heil nótt ok nift.

Óreiðum augum

lítið okkr þinig

ok gefið sitjöndum sigr.

Heilir æsir.

Heilar ásynjur.

Heil sjá in fjölnýta fold.

Mál ok mannvit

gefið okkr mærum tveim

ok læknishendr, meðan lifum.



[English translation:]



"Hail, day!

Hail, sons of day!

And night and her daughter now!

Look on us here

with loving eyes,

That waiting we victory win.

"Hail to the gods!

Ye goddesses, hail,

And all the generous earth!

Give to us wisdom

and goodly speech,

And healing hands, life-long.
