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;

群山尚未生出，大地和世界你未曾造成，从永远到永远，你是神。

你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手的工作。天地都要毁灭，你却长存；天地都要像衣服一样渐渐残旧；你要更换天地如同更换衣物一样，天地就被更换。只有你永不改变，你的年数也没有穷尽。你仆人的子孙必安然居住；他们的后裔必在你面前坚立。”

你是头一个生下来的人吗？你在诸山未有之前诞生的吗？你曾聆听过神的密旨吗？你可以独占智慧吗？

又说：“主啊！你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手的工作。

我奠定大地根基的时候，你在哪里呢？你若有聪明，就只管说吧。你一定晓得是谁定大地的尺度，是谁把准绳拉在大地之上？地的基础奠在哪里，地的角石是谁安放的？那时晨星一起歌唱，神的众子也都欢呼。海水冲出如婴孩出母胎，那时谁用门把海水关闭呢？是我以云彩当作海的衣服，以幽暗当作包裹海的布；我为海定界限，又安置门闩和门户，说：‘你只可到这里，不可越过，你狂傲的波浪要在这里止住。’
