Dee 20 Psalm

To dän haupt Musikaunt, en Psalm fonn Doft.

Mucht dee Herr Gott die auntwuate enn dän Dach fonn dien Trubbel; un däm Joakopp sien Gott die nehejcht häwe.

Un die Help schekje fonn daut Aundachts Hus, un die bestädje enn Zion.

Hee woat aul dien Opfa behoole, un diene Brauntopfa aun näme. Selah.

Hee woat die doano jäwe aus dien Hoat Janke es, un aul diene Plone erfelle.

Wie woare onns freihe enn diene Radunk, un wie woare ne Flag oppstale enn onns Gott sien Nome; mucht dee Herr Gott aul diene Jebäde erfelle.

Nu weet ekj daut dee Herr Gott sien Ennjesaulwda rade deit; hee woat fonn sien Heilje Himel auntwuate met dee Radende Macht fonn siene rajchte Haunt.

Eenje fetruehe enn Kjrijchswoages, un eenje enn Pead, oba wie woare däm Herr Gott onns Gott sien Nome behoole.

Dee sent dol jeboage en sent dol jefolle, oba wie sent oppjestone un stone opprajcht.

Rad, O Herr Gott! Dee Kjeenijch woat onns auntwuate enn dän Dach wan wie am aunroope.

Psalm 20[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;(A)
    may the name of the God of Jacob(B) protect you.(C)
May he send you help(D) from the sanctuary(E)
    and grant you support(F) from Zion.(G)
May he remember(H) all your sacrifices
    and accept your burnt offerings.[b](I)
May he give you the desire of your heart(J)
    and make all your plans succeed.(K)
May we shout for joy(L) over your victory
    and lift up our banners(M) in the name of our God.

May the Lord grant all your requests.(N)

Now this I know:
    The Lord gives victory to his anointed.(O)
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
    with the victorious power of his right hand.(P)
Some trust in chariots(Q) and some in horses,(R)
    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.(S)
They are brought to their knees and fall,(T)
    but we rise up(U) and stand firm.(V)
Lord, give victory to the king!
    Answer us(W) when we call!
