< Psalmorum 23 >
1 psalmus David Dominus reget me et nihil mihi deerit
A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 in loco pascuae ibi me conlocavit 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 iustitiae propter nomen suum
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in 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, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 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 inpinguasti in oleo caput meum et calix meus inebrians quam praeclarus 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 subsequitur me omnibus diebus vitae meae et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
