Psalmorum 23

1 psalmus David Dominus reget me et nihil mihi deerit

A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

2 in loco pascuae ibi me conlocavit super aquam refectionis educavit me

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

3 animam meam convertit deduxit me super semitas iustitiae propter nomen suum

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

4 nam et si ambulavero in medio umbrae mortis non timebo mala quoniam tu mecum es virga tua et baculus tuus ipsa me consolata sunt

Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff — they comfort me.

5 parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me inpinguasti in oleo caput meum et calix meus inebrians quam praeclarus est

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

6 et misericordia tua subsequitur me omnibus diebus vitae meae et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum

Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
