1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,

before the days of adversity come

and the years approach of which you will say,

"I find no pleasure in them,"

2 before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened,

and the clouds return after the rain,

3 on the day the keepers of the house tremble

and the strong men stoop,

when those grinding cease because they are few

and those watching through windows see dimly,
