24	בְּאֵין־ תְּהֹמ֥וֹת חוֹלָ֑לְתִּי בְּאֵ֥ין מַ֝עְיָנ֗וֹת נִכְבַּדֵּי־ מָֽיִם׃	When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.	When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25	בְּטֶ֣רֶם הָרִ֣ים הָטְבָּ֑עוּ לִפְנֵ֖י גְבָע֣וֹת חוֹלָֽלְתִּי׃	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	עַד־ לֹ֣א עָ֭שָׂה אֶ֣רֶץ וְחוּצ֑וֹת וְ֝רֹ֗אשׁ עָפְר֥וֹת‪‬ תֵּבֵֽל׃	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	בַּהֲכִינ֣וֹ שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁ֣ם אָ֑נִי בְּח֥וּקוֹ ח֝֗וּג עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י תְהֽוֹם׃	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	בְּאַמְּצ֣וֹ שְׁחָקִ֣ים מִמָּ֑עַל בַּ֝עֲז֗וֹז עִינ֥וֹת תְּהוֹם׃‪‬	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,
29	בְּשׂ֘וּמ֤וֹ לַיָּ֨ם ׀ חֻקּ֗וֹ וּ֭מַיִם לֹ֣א יַֽעַבְרוּ־ פִ֑יו בְּ֝חוּק֗וֹ מ֣וֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ׃	when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,	when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
