Psalm 23 KJV
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
It is acknowledged as one of the most beautiful purple passages in human literature; even if you are not "religious" or of a different Faith (this is from Judaism; Jewish scriptures, pre advent of Jesus Christ) you can appreciate the beauty of the words and ideas. -
And the Latin Vulgate version:
1. Dominus pascit me, et nihil mihi deerit:
2 in pascuis virentibus me collocavit, super aquas quietis eduxit me,
3 animam meam refecit. Deduxit me super semitas iustitiae propter nomen suum.
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.
5 Parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos, qui tribulant me; impinguasti in oleo caput meum, et calix meus redundat.
6 Etenim benignitas et misericordia subsequentur me omnibus diebus vitae meae, et inhabitabo in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum. -
