"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."
~SigrdrÃfumál (Bellows translation, 1936)

If victory you would know...
...twice name the name of Tyr!
Some people referring to this suggest asking, "Tyr! Lord Tyr grant me victory!" or somesuch. I always think, though, that might be a request too far. Rather than asking for 'victory', i.e. asking the god to give you success regardless of the effort you put in, would it not be better to ask something like, "Tyr grant me courage! Tyr grant me strength!", both of which would be very useful, giving a great advantage, but still require you to put the hard work in?
