Psalm 23
Language: Hebrew (עברית) 
Our translations:  CAT
א   מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:    
  יְהוָה רֹעִי, לֹא אֶחְסָר.
ב   בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא, יַרְבִּיצֵנִי;
      עַל-מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי.
ג    נַפְשִׁי יְשׁוֹבֵב; 
     יַנְחֵנִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי-צֶדֶק, לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ.
ד    גַּם כִּי-אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת, לֹא-אִירָא רָע--    כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי;
   שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ,    הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי.
ה   תַּעֲרֹךְ לְפָנַי, שֻׁלְחָן--    נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי;
   דִּשַּׁנְתָּ בַשֶּׁמֶן רֹאשִׁי,    כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה.
ו    אַךְ, טוֹב וָחֶסֶד יִרְדְּפוּנִי--    כָּל-יְמֵי חַיָּי;
   וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-יְהוָה,    לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים.

Transliteration of the text: 

Adonai ro-i, lo echsar.
Bin'ot deshe yarbitseini,
Al mei m'nuhot y'nachaleini,
Naf'shi y'shovev,
Yancheini b'ma'aglei tsedek,
L'ma'an sh'mo.
Gam ki eilech
B'gei tsalmavet,
Lo ira ra,
Ki Atah imadi.
Shiv't'cha umishan'techa
Hemah y'nachamuni.
Ta'aroch l'fanai shulchan
Neged tsor'rai
Dishanta vashemen roshi
Cosi r'vayah.
Ach tov vahesed
Yird'funi kol y'mei chayai,
V'shav'ti b'veit Adonai
L'orech yamim.
