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.

L'Eternel est mon berger : je ne...

Language: French (Français) after the Hebrew (עברית)

1 [Cantique de David.]
  L'Eternel est mon berger : je ne manquerai de rien.
2 Il me fait reposer dans de verts pâturages, 
  Il me dirige près des eaux paisibles.
3 Il restaure mon âme, 
  Il me conduit dans les sentiers de la justice,
  À cause de son nom.
4 Quand je marche dans la vallée de l'ombre de la mort,
  Je ne crains aucun mal, car tu es avec moi :
  Ta houlette et ton bâton me rassurent.
5 Tu dresses devant moi une table,
  En face de mes adversaires;
  Tu oins d'huile ma tête,
  Et ma coupe déborde.
6 Oui, le bonheur et la grâce m'accompagneront 
  Tous les jours de ma vie,
  Et j'habiterai dans la maison de l'Eternel
  Jusqu'à la fin de mes jours.
