Following is Psalm 23 in Latin. Since this is a long and somewhat difficult passage I am not requiring memorization but rather an ability to read the Psalm outloud with proper pronunciation.
Psalmus 23
Dominus pascit me, et nihil mihi deerit;
in pascuis virentibus me collocavit,
super aquas quietis eduxit me.
Animam meam refecit.
Deduxit me super semitas iustitiae propter nomen suum.
Nam et si ambulavero in Valle umbrae Mortis,
non timebo mala, quoniam Tu mecum es,
virga Tua et baculus Tuus,
ipsa me consolata sunt.
Parasti in conspectu meo mensam
adversus eos, qui tribulant me;
impinguasti in oleo caput meum,
et calix meus redundat.
Etenim benignitas et misericordia subsequentur me
omnibus diebus vitae meae,
et inhabitabo in Domo Domini
in longitudinem dierum.
We have been concentrating on new vocabulary words and further review of verbs and complex sentences. We even have a new class mantra: Debemus cogitare. We must think, or literally, we ought to think!
We are having really fun time expanding our knowledge and vocabulary and reading authentic Latin texts. Optime!
