22:1 Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit :

22:1 A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

22:2 in loco pascuæ, ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me ;

22:2 He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

22:3 animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas justitiæ propter nomen suum.

22:3 He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake.

22:4 Nam etsi ambulavero in medio umbræ mortis, non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es. Virga tua, et baculus tuus, ipsa me consolata sunt.

22:4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

22:5 Parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me ; impinguasti in oleo caput meum : et calix meus inebrians, quam præclarus est !

22:5 Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebreateth me, how goodly is it!

22:6 Et misericordia tua subsequetur me omnibus diebus vitæ meæ ; et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum.

22:6 And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
