American Standard Version
"When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong, "
— Proverbs 8:28, American Standard Version
“When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:”
“when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,”
“when he established the clouds above, when he secured the fountains of the deep,”
“When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:”
“When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:”
“When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:”
Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,
When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;
Then I was by him, asa master workman; And I was dailyhisdelight, Rejoicing always before him,
Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.
