Molwch Dduw wybrennau plygwch

Praise the Lord ye heavens adore Him

Molwch Dduw; wybrennau, plygwch;
  Molwch, engyl nefoedd lân,
Haul a lleuad, gorfoleddwch;
  Sêr, rhowch iddo ddawn a chân.

Molwch Dduw: Efe lefarodd,
  Clywodd bydoedd ddwyfol iaith;
Cedyrn ddeddfau roes i'w harwain
  Yn eu pell dragwyddol daith.

Molwch Dduw: mae'n ogoneddus;
  I'w addewid saif yn rym:
Yn Ei nerth y saint orchfygant
  Bechod dy ac angeu llym.

Molwch Dduw ein hiachawdwriaeth,
  Dderbyn fry foliannus lef:
Nefoedd, daear, creadigaeth,
  Cyd-fawrhewch Ei enw Ef!
cyf. Henry Lloyd (Ap Hefin) 1870-1946

Tôn [8787]: St Oswald (J B Dykes 1823-76)

Praise ye God; ye skies, bow;
  Praise ye, holy, heavenly angels,
Sun and moon, rejoice;
  Stars, give to him ability and song.

Praise ye God: He spoke,
  Worlds heard a divine language;
Firm laws he gave to guide them
  In their distant eternal journey.

Praise ye God: he is glorious;
  For his promise shall stand in force:
In His strength the saints shall overcome
  Black sin and sharp death.

Praise ye the God of our salvation,
  Who receives above a praising cry:
Heaven, earth, creation,
  Praise ye together His name!
tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
Praise the Lord: ye heavens, adore Him;
  Praise Him, angels in the height.
Sun and moon, rejoice before Him;
  Praise Him, all ye stars of light.

Praise the Lord, for He hath spoken;
  Worlds His mighty voice obeyed.
Laws which never shall be broken
  For their guidance He hath made.

Praise the Lord, for He is glorious;
  Never shall His promise fail.
God hath made His saints victorious;
  Sin and death shall not prevail.

Praise the God of our salvation;
  Hosts on high, His power proclaim.
Heaven and earth and all creation,
  Laud and magnify His name.
Psalms, Hymns, and Anthems of the Foundling Hospital.
Thomas Coram, 1796.
