Psalmorum 23

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

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

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

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

He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name's sake.

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

Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.

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

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

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

Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!
