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 settled in place, before the hills, I was born;

群山尚未誕生，大地和世界還未形成，從亙古到永遠，你是上帝。

太初你奠立大地的根基，親手創造諸天。天地都要消亡，但你永遠長存。天地都會像外衣漸漸破舊，你必更換天地，如同更換衣服，天地都要消逝。但你永遠不變，你的年日永無窮盡。你僕人的後代必生生不息，在你面前安然居住。」

你豈是第一個出生的人？你豈在群山之前被造？你豈聽過上帝的密旨？你豈獨攬智慧？

此外又說：「主啊，太初你奠立大地的根基，親手創造諸天。

「我立大地根基的時候，你在哪裡？你若那麼聰明，請告訴我。你可知道誰為大地定的尺寸？誰用準繩把它丈量？是什麼支撐大地的根基？誰為它安放的基石？當時晨星齊聲歌唱，眾天使都發出歡呼。「大海從母胎奔騰而出時，誰為它劃定界限？是我為大海披上雲彩，為它裹上厚厚的幽暗。是我為它劃定界限，並安上門和閂，說，『你到此為止，不可越界；你狂傲的波濤要停在這裡。』
