as when I was in the days of my prime, when God’s confiding was over my house,
yes, in my early years, when the friendship of God was felt in my home;
Job now resumed his response: “Oh, how I long for the good old days, when God took such very good care of me. He always held a lamp before me and I walked through the dark by its light. Oh, how I miss those golden years when God’s friendship graced my home, When the Mighty One was still by my side and my children were all around me, When everything was going my way, and nothing seemed too difficult.

If only I were in the prime of my life again, when Eloah was an adviser in my tent.
As I was in my flourishing days, when God sheltered my tent;
Just as I was in the days of my youth, When the protection of God was over my tent;
As I was in the prime of my days, When the friendship of God was over my tent;
“In those days I was in my prime, and God protected my tent.
I wish for the days when I was strong, when God’s close friendship blessed my house.
just as I was in my most productive time, when God’s intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,
Those were the best days of my life. That’s when God’s friendship blessed my house.
Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,
Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,
Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;
Those days were my best days when God was my friend watching over my tent.
When I was in my prime, God’s friendship was felt in my home.
when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent,
As I was in the days of my prime, when the Sod Eloah (friendship, counsel of G-d) was over my ohel;
“as I was in the days of my youth, when God’s providence was upon my tabernacle,
as I was in my autumn days, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
as I was in my autumn days, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
as I was in the days of my prime, when God’s intimate friendship was upon my tent,
Ah, to be in the ripest time of life once more— when the intimacies of friendship with God enfolded my tent,
as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
As I was in the days of my youth, when in private God was in my tabernacle (when privately, or secretly, God watched over my tent, or my home).
As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
