4 just as I was in my most productive time,when God’s intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,
5 when the Almighty was still with meand my children were around me;
6 when my steps were bathed with butterand the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil!
7 When I went out to the city gateand secured my seat in the public square,
8 the young men would see me and step aside,and the old men would get up and remain standing;
9 the chief men refrained from talkingand covered their mouths with their hands;
10 the voices of the nobles fell silent,and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
