Clodforwch yr anfeidrol Dduw, Moliennwch Enw'r Arglwydd; Ei fawr drugaredd Ef barhâ: Ni chilia yn dragywydd. Caned y rhai waredodd Ef O afael gref y gelyn; O'r de a'r gogledd doed eu sain, O'r dwyrain a'r gorllewin. Crwydrasant mewn anialwch crâs, Heb ddinas i orphwyso; Mewn syched ac mewn newyn du Y bu eu henaid yno. Yn nghanol cyfyngderau, gànt, Llefasant ar yr Arglwydd; Tosturiodd, a gwaredodd hwy O'u gofwy ac o'u haflwydd. Tywysodd hwynt yn ffordd ei ras I'r ddinas gyfaneddol; Am ddwyfol ddawn a nodded hir Fe'i molir yn dragwyddol.John Hughes (Glanystwyth) 1842-1902
Tonau [MS 8787]: |
Extol ye the immeasurable God, Praise ye the Name of the Lord; His great mercy shall endure: It will not recede in eternity. Let those sing whom He delivered From the strong grasp of the enemy; From the south and the north let their sound come, From the east and the west. They had wandered in a roasting desert, With no city wherein to rest; In thirst and in black hunger Their soul was there. In the midst of straits, they were found, They had cried out to the Lord; He had mercy, and he delivered them From their affliction and from their misfortune. He led them in the way of his grace To the habitable city; For a divine gift and long refuge He is to be praised eternally.tr. 2019 Richard B Gillion |
1 To God your grateful voices raise, who does your daily patron prove; And let your never-ceasing praise attend on his eternal love. 2 Let those give thanks whom he from bands of proud oppressing foes released; 3 And brought them back from distant lands, from north and south, and west and east. 4 Through lonely desert ways they went, nor could a peopled city find; 5 Till, quite with thirst and hunger spent, their fainting soul within them pined. 6 Then soon to God's indulgent ear did they their mournful cry address; Who graciously vouchsafed to hear, and freed them from their deep distress. 7 From crooked paths he led them forth, and in the certain way did guide To wealthy towns of great resort, where all their wants were well supplied.N Tate & N Brady A New Version of the Psalms of David in Metre 1696 |
