Psalmorum 23

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

A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

2 in loco pascuæ ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me:

He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

3 animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas iustitiæ, propter nomen suum.

He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

4 Nam, et si ambulavero in medio umbræ mortis, non timebo mala: quoniam tu mecum es. Virga tua, et baculus tuus: ipsa me consolata sunt.

Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

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

Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

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

Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
