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

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 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 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 born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

In time of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.Even they will perish, but You endure; All of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will pass away.But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You.”

“ Were you the first person to be born, Or were you brought forth before the hills?Do you hear the secret discussion of God, And limit wisdom to yourself?

And,“ You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of Your hands;

Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding,Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the measuring line over 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 enclosed the sea with doors When it went out from the womb, bursting forth;When I made a cloud its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling bands,And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors,And I said,‘ As far as this point you shall come, but no farther; And here your proud waves shall stop’?
