Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.

你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手所造的。

你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手所造的。

你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手所造的。

太初你奠立大地的根基，亲手创造诸天。

你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手的工作。

你在起初奠定了大地的根基，诸天也是你手所造的。

你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手所造的。

你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手所造的。

你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手所造的。

你起初立了地的根基；天也是你手的工作。

上古爾奠地基、諸天爾手所造兮、

爾元始肇基乎地、創造乎天兮、

主在古初創立地之根基、天亦為主手所造、

長跪白我主。盛年莫見折。我主壽無量。豈靳此一勺。

In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

In the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations. Your hands created the heavens.

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

Long ago you established the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

In time of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Long ago You established the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens[ are] the work of thy hands.

In earlier times you established the earth; the skies are your handiwork.

Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

He also says to the Son,“ In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing.You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever.”

For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed.

But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself.For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.

I was appointed in ages past, at the very first, before the earth began.I was born before the oceans were created, before the springs bubbled forth their waters.Before the mountains were formed, before the hills, I was born—before he had made the earth and fields and the first handfuls of soil.I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew the horizon on the oceans.I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established springs deep in the earth.I was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence.And how happy I was with the world he created; how I rejoiced with the human family!“ And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful.Listen to my instruction and be wise. Don’t ignore it.Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home!For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.But those who miss me injure themselves. All who hate me love death.”

“ O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!

“ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much.Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line?What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstoneas the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens!
