52.
Þá kjǫmr inn mikli
mǫgr Sigfǫður
Víðarr vega
að valdýri.
Lætr hann megi Hveðrungs
mund um standa
hjǫr til hjarta
þá er hefnt fǫður.

translated by G.A.Gjessing, Kristiania, 1899

53.
Seirfaders store
søn da kommer,
Vídar, at kjempe
mod valens dyr,
Hvedrung's søn han
sverd i hjertet
hugger med haand –
hevn't er hans fader!

translated by Henry Adams Bellows, 1936

54.
Then comes Sigfather's |
mighty son,
Vithar, to fight |
with the foaming wolf;
In the giant's son |
does he thrust his sword
Full to the heart: |
his father is avenged.
