H5414 [H8799]
O that
H3391
I were as in months
H6924
past,
H3117
as in the days
H433
when God
H8104 [H8799]
preserved me;
3
H5216
When his lamp
H1984 [H8800]
shined
H7218
upon my head,
H216
and when by his light
H3212 [H8799]
I walked
H2822
through darkness;
4
H3117
As I was in the days
H2779
of my youth,
H5475
when the secret
H433
of God
H168
was upon my tent;
6
H7364 [H8800]
When I washed
H1978
my steps
H2529
with butter,
H6697
and the rock
H6694 [H8799]
poured me out
H6388
rivers
H8081
of oil;
7
H3318 [H8800]
When I went out
H8179
to the gate
H7176
through the city,
H3559 [H8686]
when I prepared
H4186
my seat
H7339
in the street!
8
H5288
The young men
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H2244 [H8738]
me, and hid
H3453
themselves: and the aged
H6965 [H8804]
arose,
H5975 [H8804]
and stood up.
9
H8269
The princes
H6113 [H8804]
stopped
H4405
talking,
H7760 [H8799]
and laid
H3709
their palm
H6310
on their mouth.
10
H5057
The nobles
H2244 [H8738]
held
H6963
their peace,
H3956
and their tongue
H1692 [H8804]
cleaved
H2441
to the roof of their mouth.
11
H241
When the ear
H8085 [H8804]
heard
H833 [H8762]
me, then it blessed
H5869
me; and when the eye
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H5749 [H8686]
me, it gave witness to me:
12
H4422 [H8762]
Because I delivered
H6041
the poor
H7768 [H8764]
that hallooed,
H3490
and the fatherless,
H5826 [H8802]
and him that had none to help him.
13
H1293
The blessing
H6 [H8802]
of him that was ready to perish
H935 [H8799]
came
H490
upon me: and I caused the widow's
H3820
heart
H7442 [H8686]
to shout for joy.
14
H3847 [H8804]
I put
H6664
on righteousness,
H3847 [H8799]
and it clothed
H4941
me: my judgment
H4598
was as a robe
H6797
and a diadem.
16
H1
I was a father
H34
to the poor:
H7379
and the cause
H3045 [H8804]
which I knew
H2713 [H8799]
not I searched out.
17
H7665 [H8762]
And I broke
H4973
the jaws
H5767
of the wicked,
H7993 [H8686]
and plucked
H2964
the prey
H8127
out of his teeth.
18
H559 [H8799]
Then I said,
H1478 [H8799]
I shall expire
H7064
in my nest,
H7235 [H8686]
and I shall multiply
H3117
my days
H2344
as the sand.
19
H8328
My root
H6605 [H8803]
was spread out
H4325
by the waters,
H2919
and the dew
H3885 [H8799]
lay all night
H7105
upon my branch.
20
H3519
My glory
H2319
was fresh
H5978
in me,
H7198
and my bow
H2498 [H8686]
was renewed
H3027
in my hand.
21
H8085 [H8804]
To me men gave ear,
H3176 [H8765]
and waited,
H1826 [H8799]
and kept silence
H3926
at
H6098
my counsel.
22
H310
After
H1697
my words
H8138 [H8799]
they spoke not again;
H4405
and my speech
H5197 [H8799]
fell upon them.
23
H3176 [H8765]
And they waited
H4306
for me as for the rain;
H6473 [H8804]
and they opened
H6310
their mouth
H4456
wide as for the latter rain.
