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

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 thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.

Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner- stone thereof,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 brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb;When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling- band for it,And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
