I'r Arglwydd cenwch lafar gân

(Salm 100)
I'r Arglwydd cenwch lafar gân,
  I'w enw glân rhowch foliant;
Clodforwch Ef a llawen floedd,
  Rhowch iddo'n g'oedd ogoniant.

Gwybyddwch mai Efe sy Dduw,
  Yr Arglwydd yw ein Crëwr;
Ei bobl Ef ydym yn mhob gwlad,
  Efe yw'n rhad Waredwr.

 diolch, ac â mawl a chân,
  O! ewch i'w lân gynteddoedd;
Dyrchefwch glod trwy'r ddaear lawr
  I Frenin mawr y nefoedd.

O herewydd da yw'r Arglwydd Dduw,
  Trugarog yw a graslawn;
A phery ei wirionedd Ef
  Holl oesau'r nef yn ffyddlawn.
Robert Ellis (Cynddelw) 1812-75

Tôn [MS 8787]: Ely (Thomas Turton 1780-1864)

(Psalm 100)
To the Lord sing ye a loud song,
  To his holy name render praise;
Extol Him with a joyful shout,
  Render glory to him publicly.

Know ye that it is He who is God,
  The Lord is our Creator;
His own people are we in every land,
  He is our gracious Deliverer.

With thanks, and with honour and song,
  O go ye into his holy courts;
Raise praise throughout the earth below
  To the great King of heaven.

Because good is the Lord God,
  Merciful he is and gracious;
And His truth shall endure
  Faithfully through all heaven's ages.
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
(Psalm C)
All people that on earth do dwell,
  Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;
  Come ye before Him and rejoice.

The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;
  Without our aid He did us make;
We are His folk, He doth us feed,
  And for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise;
  Approach with joy His courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His Name always,
  For it is seemly so to do.

For why? the Lord our God is good;
  His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
  And shall from age to age endure.
William Kethe (-1594)
