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 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，從永遠到永遠，你是神。

你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手的工作。天地都要毀滅，你卻長存；天地都要像衣服一樣漸漸殘舊；你要更換天地如同更換衣物一樣，天地就被更換。只有你永不改變，你的年數也沒有窮盡。你僕人的子孫必安然居住；他們的後裔必在你面前堅立。”

你是頭一個生下來的人嗎？你在諸山未有之前誕生的嗎？你曾聆聽過神的密旨嗎？你可以獨佔智慧嗎？

又說：“主啊！你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手的工作。

我奠定大地根基的時候，你在哪裡呢？你若有聰明，就只管說吧。你一定曉得是誰定大地的尺度，是誰把準繩拉在大地之上？地的基礎奠在哪裡，地的角石是誰安放的？那時晨星一起歌唱，神的眾子也都歡呼。海水沖出如嬰孩出母胎，那時誰用門把海水關閉呢？是我以雲彩當作海的衣服，以幽暗當作包裹海的布；我為海定界限，又安置門閂和門戶，說：‘你只可到這裡，不可越過，你狂傲的波浪要在這裡止住。’
