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 OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

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

He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

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

He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

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

He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

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

We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

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 have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might 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 of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

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

They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

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

O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!
