Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

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

2 In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

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

3 He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

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

4 Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted 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 You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

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

6 Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.

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