0. A Psalm of David.

1. PSALMUS. David. Dominus pascit me, et nihil mihi deerit:

1. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;

2. in pascuis virentibus me collocavit, super aquas quietis eduxit me,

2. he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;

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

3. he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4. Nam et si ambulavero in valle umbrae mortis, non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es. Virga tua et baculus tuus, ipsa me consolata sunt.

4. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 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 redundat.

5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.

6. Etenim benignitas et misericordia subsequentur me omnibus diebus vitae meae, et inhabitabo in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum.

6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
