When his lamp shined upon my head, And by his light I walked through darkness;

As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the friendship of God was upon my tent;

When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out streams of oil!

My glory is fresh in me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.
