22“The LordH3068 possessedH7069 me 1at the beginningH7225 of His wayH1870, BeforeH6924 His worksH4659 2of oldH6924.23From everlastingH5769 I was 34establishedH5258, From the beginningH7218, 5from the earliestH6924 timesH6924 of the earthH776.24When thereH369 were noH369 6depthsH8415 I was 7broughtH2342 forthH2342, When thereH369 were noH369 springsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.258BeforeH2962 the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, BeforeH6440 the hillsH1389 I was 9broughtH2342 forthH2342;26WhileH5704 He had not yet madeH6213 the earthH776 and the 10fieldsH2351, NorH3808 the firstH7218 dustH6083 of the worldH8398.27When He 11establishedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was thereH8033, When 12He inscribedH2710 a circleH2329 on the faceH6440 of the deepH8415,28When He madeH553 firmH553 the skiesH7834 aboveH4480H4605, When the springsH5871 of the deepH8415 becameH5810 13fixedH5810,29When 14He setH7760 for the seaH3220 its boundaryH2706 So that the waterH4325 would not transgressH5674 His 15commandH6310, When He markedH2710 out 16the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776;30Then 17I was besideH681 Him, as a masterH525 workmanH525; And I was dailyH3117 His delightH8191, 18RejoicingH7832 alwaysH3605H6256 beforeH6440 Him,3119RejoicingH7832 in the worldH8398, His earthH776, And having 20my delightH8191 in the sonsH1121 of menH120.
