I’r Pencerdd ar Gittith, Salm Dafydd.

Arglwydd ein Ior ni, mor ardderchog yw dy enw ar yr holl ddaear! yr hwn a osodaist dy ogoniant uwch y nefoedd. O enau plant bychain a rhai yn sugno y peraist nerth, o achos dy elynion, i ostegu y gelyn a’r ymddialydd. Pan edrychwyf ar y nefoedd, gwaith dy fysedd; y lloer a’r sêr, y rhai a ordeiniaist; Pa beth yw dyn, i ti i’w gofio? a mab dyn, i ti i ymweled ag ef? Canys gwnaethost ef ychydig is na’r angylion, ac a’i coronaist â gogoniant ac â harddwch. Gwnaethost iddo arglwyddiaethu ar weithredoedd dy ddwylo; gosodaist bob peth dan ei draed ef: Defaid ac ychen oll, ac anifeiliaid y maes hefyd; Ehediaid y nefoedd, a physgod y môr, ac y sydd yn tramwyo llwybrau y moroedd. Arglwydd ein Ior, mor ardderchog yw dy enw ar yr holl ddaear!

Psalm 8[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!

You have set your glory(B)
    in the heavens.(C)
Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,(F)
    the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c](I)

You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
    you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
all flocks and herds,(O)
    and the animals of the wild,(P)
the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,(Q)
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)
