Psalmorum 23

1 psalmus David Dominus reget me et nihil mihi deerit

A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

2 in loco pascuae ibi me conlocavit super aquam refectionis educavit me

He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

3 animam meam convertit deduxit me super semitas iustitiae propter nomen suum

He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names 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, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

5 parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me inpinguasti in oleo caput meum et calix meus inebrians quam praeclarus est

Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

6 et misericordia tua subsequitur me omnibus diebus vitae meae et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum

Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
