Hebrew to English transliteration and translation
of Masoretic Text Psalm23

<------------

         א מזמור לדוד יהוה רעי לא אחסר

ב בנאות דשא ירביצני על מי מנחות ינהלני

 ג נפשי ישובב ינחני במעגלי צדק למען שמו

ד גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות לא אירא רע כי אתה עמדי שבטך ומשענתך המה ינחמני

 ה תערך לפני שלחן נגד צררי דשנת בשמן ראשי כוסי רויה

ו אך טוב וחסד ירדפוני כל ימי חיי ושבתי בבית יהוה לארך ימים

2  Por una cabeza, metejón de un día de aquella coqueta y burlona mujer, (y risuena mujer,) que al jurar sonriendo el amor que está mintiendo, quema en una hoguera todo mi querer.	by a head, being-in-heat of a day of that inconstant and  kidding (smiling)  woman, who when  she-swears  smiling the love that she-is  lying-about, burning in a  large-fire all my  love.
** 3a  Por una cabeza, todas las locuras. Su boca que besa, borra la tristeza, calma la amargura. 3b  Por una cabeza, si ella me olvida qué importa perderme mil veces la vida, para qué vivir.  **	caused-by a head, all  the insanities. her mouth  that it-makes-contact, it-deletes the sadness, it-calms the bitterness.  caused-by a head, if she about-me she-forgets what it-matters to-lose-myself thousand times the life, for what to-be-alive.
4    Cuántos desengaños, por una cabeza. Yo juré mil veces, no vuelvo a insistir. Pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar, sus labios de fuego (su boca de fuego)      otra vez quiero besar.	how-many lost-illusions by a head. I  I-swore thousand times, not I-return to repeat. but if  a  look me it-hurts when it-passes, her lips of fire (her mouth of fire) one-more time I-desire to-kiss.
5   Basta de carreras, se acabó la timba.  ¡Un final reñido ya no vuelvo a ver! Pero si algún pingo llega a ser fija el domingo, yo me juego entero. ¡Qué le voy a hacer..!	it-is-enough  of  races, itself  it-finished  the-card-game.  an end of-tight-race now not I-return to see! but if some horse it-becomes certain on-the Sunday, I myself   I-play  whole-number what  about-it  I'm-going  to do..!
