"The
LORD
possessed
me
1
at the
beginning
of His
way
,
Before
His
works
of
old
.
23
"From
everlasting
I was
2
established
, From the
beginning
,
3
from the
earliest
times
of the
earth
.
24
"When
there
were
no
4
depths
I was
brought
forth
, When
there
were
no
springs
abounding
with
water
.
25
"
5
Before
the
mountains
were
settled
,
Before
the
hills
I was
brought
forth
;
26
While
He had not yet
made
the
earth
and the
fields
,
Nor
the
first
dust
of the
world
.
27
"When He
6
established
the
heavens
, I was
there
, When
7
He
inscribed
a
circle
on the
face
of the
deep
,
28
When He
made
firm
the
skies
above
*
, When the
springs
of the
deep
became
fixed
,
29
When
8
He
set
for the
sea
its
boundary
So that the
water
would not
transgress
His
command
, When He
marked
out
9
the
foundations
of the
earth
;
30
Then
10
I was
beside
Him, as a
master
workman
; And I was
daily
His
delight
,
Rejoicing
always
*
before
Him,
31
Rejoicing
in the
world
, His
earth
, And having
11
my
delight
in the
sons
of
men
.
32
"Now
therefore, O
sons
,
12
listen
to me, For
13
blessed
are they who
keep
my
ways
.
33
"
14
Heed
instruction
and be
wise
, And do not
neglect
it.
34
"
15
Blessed
is the
man
who
listens
to me,
Watching
daily
at my
gates
,
Waiting
at my
doorposts
.
35
"For
16
he who
finds
me
finds
life
And
17
obtains
favor
from the
LORD
.
36
"But he who
sins
against me
18
injures
himself
;
All
those who
19
hate
me
20
love
death
."
