- "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 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.
