< Psalms 23 >
1 “A psalm of David.” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
psalmus David Dominus reget me et nihil mihi deerit
2 In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me.
in loco pascuae ibi me conlocavit super aquam refectionis educavit me
3 My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.
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 not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff—they indeed 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 before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.
parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me inpinguasti in oleo caput meum et calix meus inebrians quam praeclarus est
6 Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.
et misericordia tua subsequitur me omnibus diebus vitae meae et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum
