Pardon my saying it, Ken, but you are totally out to lunch. The King James Ver. (properly called the "Authorized Version") was the work of the most eminent divines of the day and they worked from all available originals, Hebrew and Aramaic for the Old Testament and Apochrypha, Greek and others for the New Testament, not from the Vulgate. The Vulgate was not from Aramaic sources; St. Jerome used basically the same sources as the later English translators, but his were better, being more than 1000 years more recent. Also, the Psalms are read and/or sung every week, in the original Hebrew, in synagogues worldwide; indeed, many are recited daily by the devout, so there is no problem finding the Hebrew original of Ps. 23. Of course, you have to know Hebrew to address Dr. Bill's question.
