Psalmorum 23

1 psalmus David Dominus reget me et nihil mihi deerit

A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

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

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

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

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.

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

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff 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

You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

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

Surely goodness and love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
