Psalmorum 23

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

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

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

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

He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths 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.

Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.

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

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

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

Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!
