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.
30	וָֽאֶהְיֶ֥ה אֶצְל֗וֹ אָ֫מ֥וֹן וָֽאֶהְיֶ֣ה שַׁ֭עֲשֻׁעִים י֤וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם מְשַׂחֶ֖קֶת לְפָנָ֣יו בְּכָל־ עֵֽת׃	then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always,	Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,
31	מְ֭שַׂחֶקֶת בְּתֵבֵ֣ל אַרְצ֑וֹ וְ֝שַׁעֲשֻׁעַ֗י אֶת־ בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ פ	rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man.	rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
32	וְעַתָּ֣ה בָ֭נִים שִׁמְעוּ־ לִ֑י וְ֝אַשְׁרֵ֗י דְּרָכַ֥י יִשְׁמֹֽרוּ׃	“And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways.	“Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.
33	שִׁמְע֖וּ מוּסָ֥ר וַחֲכָ֗מוּ וְאַל־ תִּפְרָֽעוּ׃	Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it.	Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.
34	אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי אָדָם֮ שֹׁמֵ֪עַֽ֫ לִ֥י לִשְׁקֹ֣ד עַל־ דַּ֭לְתֹתַי י֤וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר מְזוּזֹ֥ת פְּתָחָֽי׃	Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors.	Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
35	כִּ֣י מֹ֭צְאִי [מצאי] (מָצָ֣א‪‬) חַיִּ֑ים וַיָּ֥פֶק רָ֝צ֗וֹן מֵיְהוָֽה׃	For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD,	For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD.
36	וְֽ֭חֹטְאִי חֹמֵ֣ס נַפְשׁ֑וֹ כָּל־ מְ֝שַׂנְאַ֗י אָ֣הֲבוּ מָֽוֶת׃ פ	but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”	But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”
