5. when the Almighty was yet with me,when my children were all around me,
6. when my steps were washed with butter,and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
7. When I went out to the gate of the city,when I prepared my seat in the square,
8. the young men saw me and withdrew,and the aged rose and stood;
9. the princes refrained from talkingand laid their hand on their mouth;
10. the voice of the nobles was hushed,and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11. When the ear heard, it called me blessed,and when the eye saw, it approved,
12. because I delivered the poor who cried for help,and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13. The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me,and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;my justice was like a robe and a turban.
15. I was eyes to the blindand feet to the lame.
16. I was a father to the needy,and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.
17. I broke the fangs of the unrighteousand made him drop his prey from his teeth.
