World English Bible

Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was brought forth;

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;

Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men.

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways.

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
