Psalms 20

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in 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 the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

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

3 May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

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

4 May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

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

5 May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.

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 the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful 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 some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

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

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

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

9 May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!

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