4 In the heights of heaven I dwelt,and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.
5 The vault of heaven I compassed alone,and walked through the deep abyss.
6 Over waves of the sea, over all the land,over every people and nation I held sway.
7 Among all these I sought a resting place.In whose inheritance should I abide?
8 “Then the Creator of all gave me his command,and my Creator chose the spot for my tent.He said, ‘In Jacob make your dwelling,in Israel your inheritance.’
9 Before all ages, from the beginning, he created me,and through all ages I shall not cease to be.
10 In the holy tent I ministered before him,and so I was established in Zion.
