27 Cuando formaba los cielos, allí estaba yo; cuando señalaba por compás la sobrefaz del abismo;
28 Cuando afirmaba los cielos arriba, cuando afirmaba las fuentes del abismo;
29 Cuando ponía á la mar su estatuto, y á las aguas, que no pasasen su mandamiento; cuando establecía los fundamentos de la tierra;
30 Con él estaba yo ordenándolo todo; y fuí [su] delicia todos los días, teniendo solaz delante de él en todo tiempo.
31 Huélgome en la parte habitable de su tierra; y mis delicias son con los hijos de los hombres.
