And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect.
14
From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him.
15
And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem.
16
And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of mg God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints.
17
I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion.
