< Psalms 20 >
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;
To victorie, the salm of Dauid. The Lord here thee in the dai of tribulacioun; the name of God of Jacob defende thee.
2 Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;
Sende he helpe to thee fro the hooli place; and fro Syon defende he thee.
3 Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)
Be he myndeful of al thi sacrifice; and thi brent sacrifice be maad fat.
4 Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.
Yyue he to thee aftir thin herte; and conferme he al thi counsel.
5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.
We schulen be glad in thin helthe; and we schulen be magnyfied in the name of oure God.
6 Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own 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 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.
Thes in charis, and these in horsis; but we schulen inwardli clepe in the name of oure Lord God.
8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.
Thei ben boundun, and felden doun; but we han rise, and ben reisid.
9 Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
Lord, make thou saaf the kyng; and here thou vs in the dai in which we inwardli clepen thee.
