4 I lived in the heights,and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.
5 I alone encircled the vault of heavenand walked in the depths of abysses.
6 In the waves of the sea and in every land,and among every people and nation,I led the way.
7 I sought a resting placeamong all of these.In whose allotted territoryshould I make my home?
8 “Then the creator of all thingsgave me a command;the one who created me pitched my tentand said, ‘Make your dwelling in Jacob,and let Israel receive your inheritance.’
9 Before the ages, from the beginning,he created me,and till eternity I will never fail.
10 I ministered before him in the holy tent,and so I was established in Zion.
