As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
Youth - rather х chorep (H2779) autumn], the time of the ripe fruits of my prosperity. The Vulgate, as the English version, applies it to youth, as the Orientalists began their year with autumn, the most temperate season in the East.
Secret - when the intimate friendship of God rested on my tent (Proverbs 3:32; Psalms 31:20; Psalms 25:14, "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him;" Genesis 18:17; John 15:15). The Hebrew often means a divan for deliberation.
