Psalms 20

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

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

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

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

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

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

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

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

6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His 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 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

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

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

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

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