Psalmorum 23

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

“A psalm of David.” The LORD is my shepherd: I shall not want.

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

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

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

He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, For his name's sake.

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

When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook and thy 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!

Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

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

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
