⁴ When I was in my prime,
    God’s friendship was felt in my home.

¹⁴ The Lord is a friend to those who fear him.
    He teaches them his covenant.

³² Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord,
    but he offers his friendship to the godly.

⁵ For he will conceal me there when troubles come;
    he will hide me in his sanctuary.
    He will place me out of reach on a high rock.

⁸ Were you listening at God’s secret council?
    Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
