Job’s Past Was Glorious

29 Job again took up his (A)discourse and said,

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

Job’s Past Was Glorious

“Oh that I were as in months gone by,
As in the days when God (B)watched over me;
When (C)His lamp shone over my head,
And (D)by His light I walked through darkness;
As I was in [a]the prime of my days,
When the [b](E)friendship of God was over my tent;
When [c]the Almighty was yet with me,
And my children were around me;
When my steps were bathed in (F)butter,
And the (G)rock poured out for me streams of oil!
