1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,before the evil days comeAnd the years approach of which you will say,“I have no pleasure in them”;
2 Before the sun is darkenedand the light and the moon and the starsand the clouds return after the rain;
3 When the guardians of the house tremble,and the strong men are bent;When the women who grind are idle because they are few,and those who look through the windows grow blind;
4 When the doors to the street are shut,and the sound of the mill is low;When one rises at the call of a bird,and all the daughters of song are quiet;
