In Icelandic "Þú stendur fyrir framan þínum konungi"
So how much old English from Beowulf do you “get” when it is pronounced. Basically the English had forgotten how to read Old English and it was a Danish/Icelandic linguist who helped figure out the language again.
That could also work, "þū stenst beforan þīnum cyninge".
