O'm genau na ddwg dy air gwir,
I'th farnau hir yw 'ngobaith;
Minnau'n wastadol cadwaf byth
Dy lân wehelyth gyfraith.
Cofia i'th was
dy air a'th raith,
Lle rhois fy ngobaith arno,
Yn d'air mae 'nghysur i i gyd,
Yr hwn mae 'mywyd ynddo.
Ti, Arglwydd, wyt i mi yn rhan,
Ar d'air mae f'amcan innau;
Gweddïais am nawdd ger dy fron,
O'm calon 'nol dy eiriau.
Cyn fy nghystuddio awn ar gam,
Yn awr wyf ddinam eilwaith;
Da iawn a graslawn ydwyt ti,
O! dysg i mi dy gyfraith!
Edmwnd Prys 1544-1623
Tonau [MS 8787]:
gwelir: |
From my mouth take not thy true word,
For thy judgments long is my hope;
I will constantly keep forever
Thy holy lineage of law.
Remember for thy servant
thy word and thy judgment,
Upon which I put my hope,
In thy word is all my comfort,
That in which is my life.
Thou, Lord, art to me a portion,
On thy word is my purpose;
I prayed for protection before thee,
From my heart according to thy words.
Before my afflition I would go wrong,
Now I am innocent again;
Very good and gracious art thou,
O teach me thy law!
tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion

43 Then let not quite the word of truth
be from my mouth removed;
Since still my ground of steadfast hope
thy just decrees have proved.
44 So I to keep thy righteous laws
will all my study bend;
From age to age my time to come
in their observance spend.
49 According to thy promised grace,
thy favour, Lord, extend:
Make good to me the word, on which
thy servant's hopes depend.
50 That only comfort in distress
did all my griefs control;
Thy word, when troubles hemmed me round,
revived my fainting soul.
57 O Lord, my God, my portion thou
and sure possession art;
Thy words I steadfastly resolve
to treasure in my heart.
58 With all the strength of warm desires
I did thy grace implore;
Disclose, according to thy word,
thy mercy's boundless store.
67 Before affliction stopped my course,
my footsteps went astray;
But I have since been disciplined
thy precepts to obey.
68 Thou art, O Lord, supremely good,
and all thou dost is so;
On me, thy statutes to discern,
thy saving skill bestow.
