Psalmorum 23

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

A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

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

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

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

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in 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.

Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod 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 praeclarus est!

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

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

Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
