When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out streams of oil!
When I went forth to the gate unto the city, When I prepared my seat in the street,
The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;
The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;
The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
For when the ear heardme, then it blessed me; And when the eye sawme, it gave witness unto me:
Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.
