Oh that I were as in the months of old,
As in the days when God watched over me;
When his lamp shined [a]upon my head,
And by his light I walked through darkness;
As I was in [b]the ripeness of my days,

And my children were about me;
When my steps were washed with butter,
And the rock poured me out streams of oil!
