Psalms 23

1 THE Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

in loco pascuæ ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me:

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas iustitiæ, propter nomen suum.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

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

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

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