[1] Yr Arglwydd yw fy ngoleu' gyd,
A'm hiechyd; rhag pwy'r ofnaf;
Yr Arglwydd yw nerth f'oes;
am hyn,
Rhag pwy doi dychryn arnaf?
[3] Ni ddoi ofn ar fy nghalon gu,
Pe cyrchai llu i'm herbyn:
Pe codai câd yn y modd hwn,
Mi ni wanffyddiwn ronyn.
[4a] Un arch a archais
ar Dduw Naf,
A hyny a archaf etto:
Cael dyfod i dŷ'r
Arglwydd glân,
A bod a'm trigfan ynddo.
[4b] I gael ymweled â'i deml deg,
A hyfryd osteg ynddi,
Holl ddyddiau f'einioes: sef wyf gaeth
O fawr hiraeth am dani.
[11] Duw, dysg i mi dy ffordd yn rhwydd,
O herwydd fy ngelynion,
Ac arwain fi, o'th nawddol rad,
Yn wasted ar yr union.

[1] Yr Arglwydd yw 'ngoleuni' gyd,
A'm hiechydwriaeth dirion;
Duw yw fy nerth - nid ofnaf oll
Rhag gallu'm holl elynion?
[4a] Un arch a erchais
ar Dduw Naf,
A hyny a archaf eto:
Cael dyfod i dŷ'r
Arglwydd glân,
A bod â'm trigfan ynddo.
[4b]Caf yno roi fy nghŵyn
o'th flaen,
A'th degwch wela'i'n wastad;
A chlywed traethu d'w'llys gu,
A chenadwri'th gariad.
[5] Pan ddel tymhestloedd
- p'le ceir gwell? -
Mae yno babell ddirgel,
Lle cuddia Duw ei blant bob un,
A'u henaid sy'n ddiogel.

Tonau [MS 8787]: |
[1] The Lord is all my light,
And my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
therefore,
Of whom shall terror come upon me?
[3] Fear would not come upon my dear heart,
If a host should gather against me:
If an army should rise in this manner,
I would not mistrust one bit.
[4a] One request I have requested
of the Lord God,
And this I will request still:
To get to come to the house of the
holy Lord,
And have my dwelling in it.
[4b] To get to visit his fair temple,
With a lovely silence in it,
All the days of my life: for I am captive
To a great longing for it.
[11] God, teach me thy way freely,
Because of my enemies,
And lead me, from thy protecting favour,
Continually straight.
- - - - -
[1] The Lord is all my light,
And my tender salvation;
God is my strength - I will not fear at all
What can all my enemies do?
[4a] One request have I requested
of the Lord God,
And this I will request still:
To get to come to the house of the
holy Lord,
And have my dwelling in it.
[4b] There I may state my complaint
before thee,
And thy fairness will I see continually;
And hear the expounding of thy dear will,
And the message of thy love.
[5] When tempests come
- where can be found better? -
There is there a secret tent,
Where God hides his children every one,
And their souls are safe.

And this I will request still:
To get to come to the house of the

And have my dwelling in it.
[8] Thus is my heart within me,
Asking and answering:
"Seek ye my face at every turn;"
"My God, I am seeking thy face."
[10] If my father and my mother reject me
And me faultless my kinsmen,
To God I will pray; he, nevertheless,
Of his grace will receive my soul.
[11] God, teach me thy way freely,
Because of my enemies,
And lead me, from thy protecting favour,
Continually straight.
[14] Wait thou on the good Lord,
And take comfort in him;
He will strengthen thy heart
Therefore wait on him.

1 Whom should I fear, since God to me
is saving health and light?
Since strongly he
my life supports,
what can my soul affright.
3 Through him my heart, undaunted, dares
with num'rous hosts to cope;
Through him in doubtful straits of war,
for good success I hope.
4 Henceforth within his house to dwell
I earnestly desire,
His wondrous beauty there to view,
and his blest will enquire.
11 Instruct me in thy paths, O Lord,
my ways directly guide;
Lest envious men, who watch my steps,
should see me tread aside.

with comfort rest,
in times of deep distress;
And safe as on a rock abide,
in that secure recess.

8 When us to seek thy glorious face
thou kindly dost advise;
"Thy glorious face I'll always seek,"
my grateful heart replies.
10 Though all my friends and nearest kin
their helpless charge forsake,,
Yet thou, whose love excels them all,
wilt care and pity take.
11 Instruct me in thy paths, O Lord,
my ways directly guide;
Lest envious men, who watch my steps,
should see me tread aside.
14 God's time with patient faith expect,
and he'll inspire thy breast
With inward strength; do thou thy part,
and leave to him the rest.
