13 But it is you, a man like myself,

my companion, my close friend,

14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship

at the house of God,

as we walked about

among the worshipers.

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal,

My guide, and mine acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together,

And walked unto the house of God in company.

13 Instead, it is you—my equal,

my companion and close friend.

14 What good fellowship we once enjoyed

as we walked together to the house of God.

13 But it was you, a man my equal,

My companion and my acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together,

And walked to the house of God in the throng.

13 But it is you, a person like me,

my companion and good friend.

14 We had a good friendship

and walked together to God’s Temple.

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal,

My companion, and my familiar friend.

14 We took sweet counsel together;

We walked in the house of God with the throng.

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. … 14 We who held sweet intercourse together. To the house of God we walked amid the throng.

13 But it is you, my equal, 

my best friend, 

one I knew so well! 

14 We used to talk to each other in complete confidence 

and walk into God’s house with the festival crowds. 

13 But it is you, a man who is my peer,

my companion and good friend!

14 We used to have close fellowship;

we walked with the crowd into the house of God.

13 But it is you, my equal,

my companion, my familiar friend,

14 with whom I kept pleasant company;

we walked in the house of God with the throng.

13 But it is you, a man my equal,

my friend and confidant.

14 We who would take sweet counsel together;

in the house of God

we would walk with the throng.

13 But it’s you, someone like myself.

It’s my companion, my close friend.

14 We used to enjoy good friendship

as we walked with the crowds at the house of God.

13 But it is you, a man my equal,

My companion and my familiar friend;

14 We who had sweet fellowship together

Walked in the house of God in the throng.
