² Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

² But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵ Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁶ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁷ But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.

² Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting.

⁷ Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

⁸ Jesus Christ `is' the same yesterday and to-day, `yea' and for ever.

¹⁰ And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

¹¹ They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

¹² And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

¹⁵ For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

²² Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.

⁶ Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

²⁵ Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;
