In Context

2 |Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;

3 when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,

4 as I was in the ripeness of my days, when the friendship of God was in my tent,

5 when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,

6 when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,

7 when I went forth to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
