- The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
- I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
- When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
- Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
- While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

- "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
- "From everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.
- "When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.
- "Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was brought forth;
- While He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world.
|
- When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
- When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
- When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
- Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
- Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
|
- "When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
- When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,
- When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
- Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
- Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having my delight in the sons of men.
