Psalms 23

1 A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit:

2 He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

in loco pascuæ, ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me;

3 He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas justitiæ propter nomen suum.

4 Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

Nam etsi ambulavero in medio umbræ mortis, non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es. Virga tua, et baculus tuus, ipsa me consolata sunt.

5 You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

Parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me; impinguasti in oleo caput meum: et calix meus inebrians, quam præclarus est!

6 Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.

Et misericordia tua subsequetur me omnibus diebus vitæ meæ; et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum.
