Bendigaid fo yr Arglwydd Dduw

(SALM LXXII - Bendithio yr Arglwydd)
Bendigaid fo yr Arglwydd Dduw,
  Sef Duw yr Israel dirion;
Ef byth yn unig sy'n parhau
  I wneuthur gwyrthiau mawrion.

Bendigaid fyddo'i enw byth,
  Gogonedd dilyth iddo;
A'i glod trwy'r ddaear
    fyddo'n ben;
  Amen, Amen, hyn fyddo.

(Psalm 72 - Bless the Lord)
Blessed be the Lord God,
  That is, the God of tender Israel;
He forever, only, shall endure
  To perform great miracles.

Blessed shall be his name forever,
  Unfailing glory to him;
And his praise through the earth
    shall be supreme;
  Amen, Amen, this shall be.
tr. 2013 Richard B Gillion
(PSAL. LXXII.)
17 The mem'ry of his glorious Name
     through endless years shall run;
   His spotless fame shall shine as bright
     and lasting as the sun.

   In him the nations of the world
     shall be completely blessed,
   And his unbounded
       happiness
     by ev'ry tongue confessed.
