³ I am the word spoken by the Most High.
    I covered the earth like a mist.
^4 (A)I made my home in highest heaven,
    my throne on a pillar of cloud.
⁵ Alone I walked around the circle of the sky
    and walked through the ocean beneath the earth.
⁶ I ruled over^[a] all the earth and the ocean waves,
    over every nation, over every people.
