We normally say
May God help you. (correct)
We don't say
May God helps you. (incorrect)
But we do say. God helps those who help themselves.
So when we add "May" in a sentence we don't follow the rules that are followed while constructing present simple or present indefinite tenses. Is that correct? And why those rules are not followed in this case?
