22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,Before His works of old.
23 I have been established from everlasting,From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled,Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,Or the primal dust of the world.
27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there,When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He established the clouds above,When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
