^{22 Ref} Jehovah possessed me -- the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.

^{23 Ref} From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former states of the earth.

^{24 Ref} In there being no depths, I was brought forth, In there being no fountains heavy `with' waters,

^{25 Ref} Before mountains were sunk, Before heights, I was brought forth.
