Psalms 23

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

Psalmus David. [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 pascuæ, 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 justitiæ propter nomen suum.

4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy 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 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my 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 præclarus 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 vitæ meæ; et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum.]
