I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.King James Bible
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.American Standard Version
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.Young's Literal Translation
From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former states of the earth.Proverbs 8:23 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleI was set up from everlasting - נסכתי nissachti, "I was diffused or poured out," from נסך nasach, "to diffuse, pour abroad, as a spirit or disposition," Isaiah 29:10. See Parkhurst. Or from סך sach, "to cover, overspread, smear over, as with oil;" to be anointed king. Hence some have translated it, principatum habui, I had the principality, or was a ruler, governor, and director, from eternity. All the schemes, plans, and circumstances, relative to creation, government, providence, and to all being, material, animal, and intellectual, were conceived in the Divine mind, by the Divine wisdom, from eternity, or ever the earth was. There was no fortuitous creation, no jumbling concourse of original atoms, that entered into the composition of created beings; all was the effect of the plans before conceived, laid down, and at last acted upon by God's eternal wisdom.
