Psalms 20

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

To victorie, the salm of Dauid. The Lord here thee in the dai of tribulacioun; the name of God of Jacob defende thee.

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

Sende he helpe to thee fro the hooli place; and fro Syon defende he thee.

3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

Be he myndeful of al thi sacrifice; and thi brent sacrifice be maad fat.

4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Yyue he to thee aftir thin herte; and conferme he al thi counsel.

5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

We schulen be glad in thin helthe; and we schulen be magnyfied in the name of oure God.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

The Lord fille alle thin axyngis; nowe Y haue knowe, that the Lord hath maad saaf his crist. He schal here hym fro his hooly heuene; the helthe of his riyt hond is in poweris.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Thes in charis, and these in horsis; but we schulen inwardli clepe in the name of oure Lord God.

8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

Thei ben boundun, and felden doun; but we han rise, and ben reisid.

9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

Lord, make thou saaf the kyng; and here thou vs in the dai in which we inwardli clepen thee.
