about

by Claude Goudimel (c. 1514 - 1572)

Our program ends with another psalm setting. The stately four-voice setting of the familiar Psalm 23, Mon Dieu me paist (The Lord is my shepherd) is taken from a collection of psalms by Claude Goudimel arranged here by Mignarda for solo voice and lute, followed (in the next track) with a meditative setting of the psalm tune with variations for lute by Nicolas Vallet.

lyrics

Mon Dieu me paist sous sa puissance haute:
C’est mon berger, de rien je n’aurai faute.
En tect bien seur joignant les beaux herbages
Coucher me fait, me meine aux clairs rivages.
Traite ma vie en douceur tres humaine:
Et pour son nom par droits sentiers me meine.

Si seurement que quand au val viendroye.
D’ombre de mort, rien de mal ne craindroye:
Car avec moi tu es à chacune heure:
Puis ta houlette et conduite m’asseure.
Tu enrichis de vivres necessaires
Ma table aux yeux de tous mes adversaires.

Tu oings mon chef d’huiles et senteurs bonnes,
Et jusqu’aux bords pleine tasse me donnes.
Voire et feras que ceste faveur tienne
Tant que vivrai compagnie me tienne,
Si que tousjours de faire ai esperance
En la maison du Seigneur demeurance.

***

The Lord is my shepherd:
therefore can I lack nothing.
He shall feed me in a green pasture:
and lead me forth beside the
waters of comfort.
He shall convert my soul:
and bring me forth in the paths of
righteousness, for his Name’s sake.

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 comfort me
Thou shalt prepare a table before me
against them that trouble me:

Thou hast anointed my head with oil,
and my cup shall be full.
But Thy loving-kindness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
