as in the days when God watched over me,

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

когда светильник Его сиял над моей головой, и со светом Его шёл я сквозь темноту!
Как хотелось бы мне вернуть дни, когда был я в силе, когда Бог, как близкий друг, был в моём доме,
when the Almighty was yet with me,
when my children were all around me,

когда Всемогущий ещё был со мной, и дети мои окружали меня,

and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

and when the eye saw, it approved,

Все, кто слышал меня, обо мне хорошо говорили, все, кто видели — хвалили меня.

my roots spread out to the waters,
with the dew all night on my branches,
with the dew all night on my branches,

my glory fresh with me,
and my bow ever new in my hand.’

and kept silence for my counsel.
