< Psalmorum 23 >
1 psalmus David Dominus reget me et nihil mihi deerit
A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.
2 in loco pascuae ibi me conlocavit 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 inpinguasti 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 subsequitur 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!
