Psalmorum 23

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

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing.

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

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

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

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

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

Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.

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

Thou has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and thy cup cheers me like the best [wine].

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

Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
