Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ποιμαίνει με καὶ οὐδέν με ὑστερήσει.

¹

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing.

²

εἰς τόπον χλόης, ἐκεῖ με κατεσκήνωσεν, ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀναπαύσεως ἐξέθρεψέ με,

²

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

³

τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐπέστρεψεν. ὡδήγησέ με ἐπὶ τρίβους δικαιοσύνης ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.

³

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

⁴

ἐὰν γὰρ καὶ πορευθῶ ἐν μέσῳ σκιᾶς θανάτου, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι κακά, ὅτι σὺ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ εἶ· ἡ ράβδος σου καὶ ἡ βακτηρία σου, αὗταί με παρεκάλεσαν.

⁴

Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.

⁵

ἡτοίμασας ἐνώπιόν μου τράπεζαν, ἐξεναντίας τῶν θλιβόντων με· ἐλίπανας ἐν ἐλαίῳ τὴν κεφαλήν μου, καὶ τὸ ποτήριόν σου μεθύσκον με ὡσεὶ κράτιστον.

⁵

Thou hast prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and thy cup cheers me like the best wine.

⁶

καὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου καταδιώξει με πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς μου, καὶ τὸ κατοικεῖν με ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν.

⁶

Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling shall be in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
