	NLT New Living Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version

25	Before the mountains were formed, before the hills, I was born—	Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth,	before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,
26	before he had made the earth and fields and the first handfuls of soil.	before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world.	before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.
27	I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew the horizon on the oceans.	When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,	I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28	I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established springs deep in the earth.	when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,	when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
