Psalms 23

1 [A Psalm by David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

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

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

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

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, 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 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

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

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.

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