² “Oh that I were as in months gone by,
As in the days when God ^(A)watched over me;
³ When ^(B)His lamp shone over my head,
And ^(C)by His light I walked through darkness;
⁴ Just as I was in the days of my youth,
When the ^(D)protection of God was over my tent;
⁵ When ^[a]the Almighty was still with me,
And my children were around me;
⁶ When my steps were bathed in ^(E)cream,
And the ^(F)rock poured out streams of oil for me!
