just as I was in my most productive time, when God’s intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,

我愿如壮年的时候：那时我在帐棚中，神待我有密友之情；

在我壮年的时候，上帝亲密的情谊临到我的帐棚中。

在我壮年的时候，神亲密的情谊临到我的帐棚中。

那时，我身强力壮，上帝是我家的密友；

但愿我仍然活在年轻力壮的日子，那时神在我的帐棚里与我亲密。

我願如壯年的時候：那時我在帳棚中，神待我有密友之情；

在我壯年的時候，上帝親密的情誼臨到我的帳棚中。

在我壯年的時候，神親密的情誼臨到我的帳棚中。

那時，我身強力壯，上帝是我家的密友；

但願我仍然活在年輕力壯的日子，那時神在我的帳棚裡與我親密。

就是在我壯年日子：上帝親密的友誼光臨於我家；

當我壯年、上帝友誼、在於我幕、

當我強盛之年、全能之上帝、親我眷我、子女繞膝、

願如壯年之時、天主如友、眷顧我幕、

Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,

Those were the best days of my life. That’s when God’s friendship blessed my house.

as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent,

When I was in my prime, God’s friendship was felt in my home.

I would be as I was in the days of my youth when God’s friendship rested on my tent,

Just as I was in the days of my youth, When the protection of God was over my tent;

Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;

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

I would be as I was in the days of my youth when God’s friendship rested on my tent,

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God[ was] upon my tabernacle;

as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,

The LORD’s loyal followers receive his guidance, and he reveals his covenantal demands to them.

for one who goes astray is an abomination to the LORD, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.

Have you not made a hedge around him and his household and all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have increased in the land.

Do you listen in on God’s secret council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of the sovereign One, and resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king–

He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home; he will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.

for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
