Psalms 20

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May YHWH answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

2 He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

3 He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

4 He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May YHWH grant 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 YHWH saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 some in horses, but we trust the name of YHWH our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, YHWH. Let the King answer us when we call.

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