2 Oh, that life was like it used to be,like days when God watched over me;
3 when his lamp shone on my head,I walked by his light in the dark;
4 when I was in my prime;when God’s counsel was in my tent;
5 when the Almighty was with me,my children around me;
6 when my steps were washed with creamand a rock poured out pools of oil for me.
7 When I went out to the city gate,took my seat in the square,
8 the young saw me and drew back;the old rose and stood;
