Y Gair yn well nag aur coeth) Deddf Jehofa, perffaith yw, Try i'r iawn yr enaid byw; Ei dystiolaeth ef sy dda, Ac yn ddoeth y gwirion gwna. Deddfau'r Iôn, rhai union ŷn', Llawenhant brudd galon dyn; Pob gorchymyn sydd yn bur, Rhydd i'r llygaid oleu gwir. Glân yw ofn y Duw dilŷth, Ac a bery felly byth; Gwir yw ei holl farnau drud, Cyfiawn hefyd ŷnt i gyd. Mwy dymunol ŷnt nag aur, Gwell nâ choeth-aur yw ei air; A melusach yw heb gêl Na diferiad diliau mêl. Ynddo fe'n rhybuddir oll Rhag y ffordd a'n dwg ar goll; Ynddo hefyd darllen ffydd, - "Gwobrwy fawr o'i gadw fydd."Casgliad o Salmau a Hymnau (Daniel Rees) 1831 [Mesur: 7777] gwelir: Rhan I - Y nef sy'n datgan mawredd Duw Rhan III - Pwy a ddeall ei gamweddau? |
The Word better than fine gold) The law of Jehovah, perfect it is, It turns to the truth the living soul; His testimony is good, And wise it makes the foolish one. The Laws of the Sovereign, upright ones they are, They make the sad heart of man rejoice; Every command is pure, Open to the eyes of true light. Pure is the fear of the unfailing God, And shall continue thus forever; True are all his precious judgments, Righteous also are they all. More desirable they are than gold, Better than fine gold is his word; And sweeter it is without concealment Than the dripping of the combs of honey. In it all are warned From the way which leads to loss; In it also faith reads, - "A great prize shall be from keeping it."tr. 2016 Richard B Gillion |
7 God's perfect law converts the soul, reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom his sure word the ignorant inspires. 8 The statutes of the Lord are just, and bring sincere delight; His pure commands, in search of truth, assist the feeblest sight. 9 His perfect worship here is fixed, on sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales of truth and justice weighed. 10 Of more esteem than golden mines, or gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops that from the comb distil. 11 My trusty counsellors they are, and friendly warnings give; Divine rewards attend on those who by thy precepts live.N Tate & N Brady A New Version of the Psalms of David in Metre 1696 |
