Psalms 20

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

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

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

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

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

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

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

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

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

6 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.

Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

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

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
