5 When the Almighty
was yet with me,
When my children
were around me;
6 When
amy steps were bathed with cream,
And
bthe rock poured out rivers of oil for me!
7 “When I went out to the gate by the city,
When I took my seat in the open square,
8 The young men saw me and hid,
And the aged arose
and stood;
9 The princes refrained from talking,
And
aput
their hand on their mouth;
10 The voice of nobles was hushed,
And their
atongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard, then it blessed me,
And when the eye saw, then it approved me;
12 Because
aI delivered the poor who cried out,
The fatherless and
the one who had no helper.
13 The blessing of a perishing
man came upon me,
And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 aI put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice
was like a robe and a turban.
