< Psalmorum 23 >
1 Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit:
A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,
2 in loco pascuæ ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me:
He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.
3 animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas iustitiæ, propter nomen suum.
He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s 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.
Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for You [are] with me, Your rod and Your staff—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!
You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!
6 Et misericordia tua subsequetur me omnibus diebus vitæ meæ: et ut inhabitem in domo Domini, in longitudinem dierum.
Surely goodness and kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!
