before the mountains were settled, before the hills. I was brought forth
Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.
And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou had founded for them.
