I am the god THOR, I am the WAR god, I am the THUNDERER!
Here in my NORTHLAND, my fastness and fortress, I REIGN FOREVER!
Here amid icebergs I RULE THE NATIONS.
This is my HAMMER, my INNER MIGHTY;
giants and sorcerers CANNOT WITHSTAND IT!
These are the GAUNTLETS (gloves) wherewith I WIELD IT! and hurl it afar off;
This is my GIRDLE; whenever I BRACE IT, STRENGTH IS REDOUBLED!
The LIGHT you behold stream through the HEAVENS, in flashes of crimson,
is but MY RED BEARD blown by the NIGHT - WIND,
AFFRIGHTING THE NATIONS!
JOVE is my brother; MINE EYES are the LIGHTNING;
the WHEELS of my CHARIOT roll IN THE THUNDER,
the BLOWS of my HAMMER RING IN THE EARTHQUAKE!
FORCE still RULES the WORLD, it has ruled it, it shall rule it; during
MY TIMES of WAR, MEEKNESS is WEAKNESS, STRENGTH is TRIUMPHANT,
OVER the WHOLE EARTH it is STILL THOR's DAY!
You are a God too, O GALILEAN!
And thus SINGLED-HANDED unto COMBAT,
GAUNTLETS or GOSPEL, HERE I DEFY YOU!
