Mor gu, O! Arglwydd, genyf fi,
Dy ddeddf di a'th gyfammod;
Ac ar y rhai'n, o ddydd i ddydd,
Y bydd fy holl fyfyrdod.
Gwnaethost fi,
â'th orch'mynion iach,
Yn ddoethach na'm gelynion;
Can's gyd â mi yn dragywydd,
Y bydd dy holl orch'mynion.
Ni chiliais rhag dy farnau di,
Can's ti a'm dysgaist ynddynt;
Mor beraidd genyf d'eiriau iach,
Na'r mêl melusach ydynt.
Dy air i'm traed i llusern yw,
A llewyrch gwiw i'm llwybrau;
Mi dyngais, a chyflawni wnaf,
Y cadwaf dy lân ddeddfau.
Cym'rais yn etifeddiaeth lân
Byth weithian dy orch'mynion,
O herwydd mai hwynthwy y sydd
Lawenydd i fy nghalon.
Llewyrcha'th wyneb ar dy was,
Dysg i mi flâs dy ddeddfau;
Dagrau o'm llygaid llifo wnant,
Na's cadwant dy gyfreithiau.
Llefais â'm calon oll, O! clyw,
A'th ddeddfau, Duw, a gadwaf;
Arnat y llefais, achub fi,
A'th lwybrau di a rodiaf.
O'th flaen di, Arglwydd, doed fy nghri,
Dysg i mi ddeall d'eiriau;
Gwared fi'n ol
d'ymadrodd rhad,
Dêl atad fy ngweddiau.

Tonau [MS 8787]:
gwelir: |
How dear, O Lord, to me,
Thy law and thy covenant;
And on these, from day to day,
Shall be my whole meditation.
Thou madest me,
with thy wholesome commandments,
Wiser than my enemies;
Since with me in eternity,
Shall be all thy commandments.
I have not sought against thy judgements,
Since thou hast led me in them;
How sweet to me thy wholesome words,
Than the honey sweeter they are.
Thy word to my feet a lantern is,
And a worthy gleam to my paths;
I will swear, and fulfil I shall,
I shall keep thy holy laws.
I received a pure inheritance
Forever henceforth thy commandments,
Because it is they which are
Joy to my heart.
Shine thy face on thy servant,
Teach me to savour thy laws;
Tears from my eyes shall flow,
They do not keep thy statutes.
I cried with all my heart, O hear!
And thy laws, God, I will keep;
Upon thee I cried, save me!
And thy paths I will walk.
Before thee, Lord let my cry come,
Teach me to understand thy words;
Deliver me according to
thy gracious report,
To thee may my prayers come.
:: from my eyes shall flow :: from my vision shall flow :: tr. 2015 Richard B Gillion |
97 The love that to thy laws I bear
no language can display;
They with fresh wonders entertain
my ravished thoughts all day.
98 Through thy commands
I wiser grow
than all my subtle foes;
For thy sure word doth me direct,
and all my ways dispose.
102 I have not from thy judgments strayed,
by vain desires misled;
For, Lord, thou hast instructed me
thy righteous paths to tread.
103 How sweet are all thy words to me !
O what divine repast!
How much more grateful to my soul
than honey to my taste!
105 Thy word is to my feet a lamp,
the way of truth to show;
A watch-light to point out the path
in which I ought to go.
106 I sware, (and from my solemn oath
will never start aside,)
That in thy righteous judgments I
will steadfastly abide.
111 Thy testimonies I have made
my heritage and choice;
For they, when other comforts fail,
my drooping heart rejoice.
145 With my whole heart to God I called,
Lord, hear my earnest cry;
And I thy statutes to perform
will all my care apply.
146 Again more fervently I prayed,
O save me, that I may
Thy testimonies thoroughly know,
and steadfastly obey.
169 To my request and earnest cry
attend, O gracious Lord;
Inspire my heart with heav'nly skill,
according to thy word.
170 Let my repeated pray'r at last
before thy throne appear;
According to thy plighted word,
for my relief draw near.
