Before the mountains were settled in place, 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 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 born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.But you are the same. Your years will have no end.The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”

“ Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

And,“ You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

“ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?What were its foundations fastened on? Or who laid its cornerstone,when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?“ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,and said,‘ You may come here, but no further. Your proud waves shall be stopped here?’
