as I was in the days of my autumn youth, when the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;
Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
Have you heard the counsel of God? And do you restrict wisdom to yourself?
when the Almighty was still with me, when my children were around me;
The secret counsel of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will make His covenant known to them.
For in the time of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion; in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
for the perverse is an abomination to the Lord, but His counsel is with the upright.
For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
