² “I wish I could go back to how things were a few months ago;
    when God used to watch over me,
³ when his lamp used to shine over my head,
    so I could walk through the dark,
⁴ like when I was in my prime
    and God trusted me with his secrets!^[a]

⁵ “The Almighty was still with me back then,
    and my children were still around me.
⁶ I was successful wherever I went,^[b]
    and even the rocks poured out streams of olive oil for me.”
