Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth,

大山未曾奠定，小山未有之先，我已生出。

大山未曾奠定，小山未有之先，我已出生。

大山未曾奠定，小山未有之先，我已出生。

大山未曾奠定，小丘未曾形成，我已经出生。

大山未曾奠定，小山未有以先，我已经出生。

在群山被安置以先、冈陵被安置之前，我已经诞生。

大山未曾奠定，小山未有之先，我已生出。

大山未曾奠定，小山未有之先，我已出生。

大山未曾奠定，小山未有之先，我已出生。

大山未曾奠定，小丘未曾形成，我已經出生。

大山未曾奠定，小山未有以先，我已經出生。

大山未曾奠下，小山未有之先，我已誕生；

在群山被安置以先、岡陵被安置之前，我已經誕生。

山嶽未奠、岡陵未有、

山嶽尚未奠定、岡陵尚未有之先、我已先生、

before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,

Before the mountains were settled in place, I was born. Before there were any hills, I was born.

Before the mountains were formed, before the hills, I was born—

Before the mountains were established, prior to the hills, I was given birth—

Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was born;

Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth;

Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;

I was delivered before the mountains and hills were established,

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

before the mountains were set in place– before the hills– I was born,

Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born;

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,but you are the same, and your years have no end.The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.

“ Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?Have you listened in the council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?

And,“ You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;

“ Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.Who determined its measurements— surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?“ Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb,when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band,and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors,and said,‘ Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?
