20 I always do what is right,
21 and I give great richesto everyone who loves me.
22 From the beginning,I was with the Lord.I was there before he began
23 to create the earth.At the very first,the Lord gave life to me.
24 When I was born,there were no oceansor springs of water.
25 My birth was beforemountains were formedor hills were put in place.
26 It happened long before Godhad made the earthor any of its fieldsor even the dust.
