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 him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:

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

Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

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

Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)

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

And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:

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

That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe 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 the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe 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 trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of ye Lord our God.

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

They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

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

Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.
