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.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy 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 know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

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

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
