Proverbs 8:22-31

22 "God sovereignly made me - the first, the basic - before he did anything else.

22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,before his deeds of old;

23 I was brought into being a long time ago, well before Earth got its start.

23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.

24 I arrived on the scene before Ocean, yes, even before Springs and Rivers and Lakes.

24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;

25 Before Mountains were sculpted and Hills took shape, I was already there, newborn;

25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,

26 Long before God stretched out Earth's Horizons, and tended to the minute details of Soil and Weather,

26 before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.

27 And set Sky firmly in place, I was there. When he mapped and gave borders to wild Ocean,

27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

28 built the vast vault of Heaven, and installed the fountains that fed Ocean,

28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

29 When he drew a boundary for Sea, posted a sign that said, no trespassing, And then staked out Earth's foundations,

29 when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

30 I was right there with him, making sure everything fit. Day after day I was there, with my joyful applause, always enjoying his company,

30 Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,

31 Delighted with the world of things and creatures, happily celebrating the human family.

31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
