< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalmus David, in finem. 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 pascuae 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 iustitiae, 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 umbrae 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 praeclarus 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 vitae meae: et ut inhabitem in domo Domini, in longitudinem dierum.
