Proverbs 8:29-31

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁹ when he assigned to the sea its limit,
    so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
³⁰     then I was beside him, like a master worker;^[a]
and I was daily his^[b] delight,
    rejoicing before him always,
³¹ rejoicing in his inhabited world
    and delighting in the human race.
