Proverbs 8:27-31
King James Version
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

New International Version
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,(A)
when he marked out the horizon(B) on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above(C)
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,(D)
29 when he gave the sea its boundary(E)
so the waters would not overstep his command,(F)
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.(G)
30 Then I was constantly[a] at his side.(H)
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.(I)
