Pa ham y terfysg gwŷr y byd?

 1 Paham y terfysc gwyr y byd,
     a pham y cyfyd rhodres?
   Pam y mae'r bobloedd yn cyd-wau,
     yn eu bwriadau diles?

 2 Codi y mae brenhinoedd byd,
     a'u bryd yn gydgynghorol:
   Yn erbyn Duw a'i Christ (ein plaid)
     y mae pennaethiaid bydol.

 3 Drylliwn eu rhwymau, meddau hwy;
     ni wnawn ni mwy ufydd-dod:
   Ac ymaith taflwn eu trom iau,
     ni chant yn frau mo'n gorfod.

 4 Ond Duw'r hwn sydd
       uwch wybrol len
     a chwardd am ben eu geiriau:
   Yr Arglwydd nef a wel eu bar,
     efe a'i gwatwar hwythau.

 5 Yna y dywaid yn ei lid,
     a hyn fydd
         rhy brid iddyn:
   O'i eiriau ef y cyfyd braw,
     a'i ddig a ddaw yn ddychryn.

 6 Gosodais innau (meddai ef)
     â llaw gref yn dragywydd:
   Fy Mrenin i, yn Llywydd llon,
     ar sanctaidd Sion fynydd.

 7 Dyma'r ddeddf a ddwedai yn rhwydd,
     hon gan yr Arglwydd clywais:
   Ti yw fy mab (o'm perffaith ryw)
     a heddyw i'th genhedlais.

 8 Gofyn im', a mi it' a'i rhydd,
     holl wledydd i'w 'tifeddu:
   Y cenedlaethau dros y byd,
     i gyd a gai meddiannu.

 9 Ti a'i briwi hwynt,
       yn dy farn,
     â gwialen haiarn hayach:
   Ti a'i maluri, hwythau ân,
     mor fân a llestri priddach.

10 Am hyn yn awr frenhinoedd coeth,
     byddwch ddoeth a synhwyrol:
   A chwithau farnwyr cymrwch ddysg,
     i ostwng terfysg fydol.

11 Gwasnaethwch chwi yr Arglwydd nef,
     ac ofnwch ef drwy oglud:
   A byddwch lawen yn Nuw cu,
     etto drwy grynu hefyd.

12 Cusenwch y Mab rhag ei ddig,
     a'ch bwrw yn ffyrnig heibio:
   A gwyn ei fyd pob calon lân,
     a ymddiriedan yntho.

 1 Why do the world's men revolt?
     and why do they raise boasting?
   Why are the peoples combining
     in their malign purposes?

 2 Rising are the kings of the world,
     with their conspiratorial intention:
   Against God and his Christ (our support)
     are the worldly chiefs.

 3 Let us break their bonds, they say;
     we shall no longer be obedienct:
   And away let us cast their heavy yoke, 41
     they shall not keenly get to force us.

 4 But God, the one who is
       above the celestial curtain
     laughs at their words:
   The Lord of heaven sees their voracity,
     'tis he who shall deride them.

 5 Then he said in his anger,
     that which shall be
         too costly for them:
   From his words terror shall arise,
     and his ire shall come terribly.

 6 I have set up (says he)
     with a strong hand eternally:
   My King, as a cheerful Governor,
     on sacred Zion mountain.

 7 Here is the law which I spoke freely,
     this I heard from the Lord:
   Thou art my son (of my perfect kind)
     and today I have begotten thee.

 8 Ask of me, and I shall give to thee,
     all lands for his inheritance:
   The nations across the world,
     all thou shalt get to possess.

 9 Thou shalt bruise them,
       in thy judgment,
     with a rod of iron indeed;
   Thou shalt smash them, they shall become
     as small as earthenware pots.

10 Therefore now, ye fine kings,
     be wise and sensible;
   And ye judges, take learning,
     to subdue earthly unrest.

11 Serve ye the Lord of heaven,
     and fear him through trust;
   And be joyful in dear God,
     yet through trembling also.

12 Kiss ye the Son to avoid his anger,
     and his casting you furiously aside:
   And blessed is every clean heart,
     that trusts in him.

I have set up, says the Lord God,
  With a strong hand for eternity,
My King, as a cheerful leader,
  Over holy mount Zion.

Serve ye the Sovereign Lord,
  An fear him through believing;
Learn to love him unreservedly
  And rejoice while trembling.

Kiss Jesus to avoid his anger,
  And his casting you furiously aside:
Blessed shall be every one of those
  Who give their hearts to him.

 1 With restless and ungovern'd rage
     why do the heathen storm?
   Why in such rash attempts engage,
     as they can ne'er perform?

 2 The great in counsel and in might
     their various forces bring;
   Against the Lord they all unite,
     and his anointed king.

 3 "Must we submit to their commands?"
      presumptuously they say;
   "No, let us break their slavish bands,
     and cast their chains away."

 4 But God, who sits
        enthroned on high,
     and sees how they combine,
   Does their conspiring strength defy,
     and mocks their vain design.

 5 Thick clouds of wrath divine
       shall break
     on his rebellious foes;
   And thus will he in thunder speak
     to all that dare oppose:

 6 "Though madly you dispute my will,
     the king that I ordain,
   "Whose throne is fixed on Zion's hill,
     shall there securely reign."

 7 Attend, O earth, whilst I declare
     God's uncontrolled decree;
   "Thou art my Son, this day my heir
     have I begotten thee.

 8 "Ask and receive thy full demands;
     thine shall the heathen be;
   "The utmost limits of the lands
     shall be possessed by thee.

 9 "Thy threat'ning sceptre
       thou shalt shake,
     and crush them every where;
   "As massy bars of iron break
     the potter's brittle ware."



10 Learn then, ye princes, and give ear,
     ye judges of the earth;
11 Worship the Lord with holy fear;
     rejoice with awful mirth.




12 Appease the Son with due respect,
     your timely homage pay;
   Lest he revenge the bold neglect,
     incensed by your delay.
