6
I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth:
7
I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud.
8
I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea,
9
And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,
10
And in every nation I have had the chief rule:
11
And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
12
Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle,
13
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.
