Modern English Translation:

Now must we praise    the kingdom of heaven’s Guardian,

                  Measurer’s might    and His mind’s thought,

                  the work of the Glory-Father,    as of each of wonders, He,  3

                  the eternal Lord,    established the beginning.

                  He created first    for the sons of men                                                                                                                      

                  heaven as a roof,    the holy Shaper.                             6

                  Then middle-earth    mankind’s Guardian,

                  the eternal Lord,    afterwards furnished

                  the land for men,    Prince all-powerful.                         9
