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

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;

諸山未曾生出，地與世界你未曾造成，從亙古到永遠，你是上帝。

你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手所造的。天地都會消滅，你卻長存；天地都會像外衣漸漸舊了。你要將天地如內衣更換，天地就都改變了。惟有你永不改變，你的年數沒有窮盡。你僕人的子孫要安然居住，他們的後裔要堅立在你面前。

「你是頭一個生下來的人嗎？你受造在諸山之先嗎？你曾聽見上帝的密旨嗎？你要獨自得盡智慧嗎？

他又說：「主啊，你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手所造的。

「我立大地根基的時候，你在哪裏？你若明白事理，只管說吧！你知道是誰定地的尺度，是誰把準繩拉在其上嗎？地的根基安置在何處？地的角石是誰安放的？那時，晨星一同歌唱；上帝的眾使者也都歡呼。「當海水衝出，如出母胎，誰用門將它關閉呢？是我用雲彩當海的衣服，用幽暗當包裹它的布，為它定界限，又安門和閂，說：『你只可到這裏，不可越過；你狂傲的浪要到此止住。』
