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 Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

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

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 thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

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

Grant thee thy heart’s desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

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 we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill 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 saveth his anointed; he wilt answer him from his holy heaven 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 [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will make mention of the name of the LORD 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, LORD: let the King answer us when we call.
