I am not in the habit of looking at foreign translations of the HB. In my Qoren edition of the TN"K the word BOR)-EY-KA is written with a yod [so also in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia] and I see it as plural. Indeed, "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth" does not make as much sense as "Keep in mind your forebears [some old, some dead] in the days of your youth".
I would relate this BR) to the BAR, 'son, child', of Proverbs 31:2
