Question
can you translate.....  "I will fear no evil: for thou art with me"

Answer
Hello,

here’s the Latin phrase we read in the Vulgate, Psalm 22 :

“Non timebo mala quoniam tu mecum es”
just meaning “I will fear no evil: for thou art with me” (Psalm 23 in King James Version)

Note that the  Vulgate  is nothing else but the Latin version of the Bible translated  from Hebrew and Greek into Latin  by St. Jerome in the fourth century AD.
This text became known as the 'versio vulgata', which means 'common translation' /’translation made public’.

Best regards,
Maria
