5. When the Almighty was still with me,and my children were round about me;
6. When my footsteps were bathed in cream,and the rock flowed with streams of oil.
7. Whenever I went out to the gate of the cityand took my seat in the square,
8. The young men saw me and withdrew,and the elders rose up and stood;
9. Officials refrained from speakingand covered their mouths with their hands;
10. The voice of the princes was silenced,and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.
11. The ear that heard blessed me;the eye that saw acclaimed me.
12. For I rescued the poor who cried out for help,the orphans, and the unassisted;
13. The blessing of those in extremity came upon me,and the heart of the widow I made joyful.
14. I wore my righteousness like a garment;justice was my robe and my turban.
15. I was eyes to the blind,and feet to the lame was I.
