Proverbs 8:29-31

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ It was when he set limits for the sea
    so that the waters had to obey his command.
When the Lord marked out the foundations of the earth, I was there.
³⁰     I was constantly at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day.
    I was always happy to be with him.
³¹ His whole world filled me with joy.
    I took delight in all human beings.
