Psalms 23

1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

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

2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

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

3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

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

4 Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

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

5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

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

6 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.

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