ON THE GREEN PASTURE

King Park Perth

The Lord ruleth me:
and I shall want nothing.
Dominus pascit me nihil mihi deerit
He hath set me in a place of pasture.
He hath brought me up,
on the water of refreshment:
in pascuis herbarum adclinavit me
super aquas refectionis enutrivit me
He hath converted my soul.
He hath led me on the paths of justice,
for his own name's sake.
animam meam refecit duxit me
per semitas iustitiae propter nomen suum
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.
sed et si ambulavero in valle mortis
non timebo malum quoniam tu mecum es virga tua
et baculus tuus ipsa consolabuntur me
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!
pones coram me mensam ex adverso
hostium meorum inpinguasti oleo
caput meum calix meus inebrians
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.
sed et benignitas et misericordia subsequetur me
omnibus diebus vitae meae et habitabo
in domo Domini in longitudine dierum
