so the waters would not overstep his command,

and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

rejoicing always in his presence,

31 rejoicing in his whole world

and delighting in mankind.

rejoicing always in his presence.

31 And how happy I was with the world he created;

And I was daily His delight,

Rejoicing always before Him,

31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,

And my delight was with the sons of men.

29 I was there when he ordered the sea

not to go beyond the borders he had set.

I was there when he laid the earth’s foundation.

30 I was like a child by his side.

I was delighted every day,

enjoying his presence all the time,

31 enjoying the whole world,

and delighted with all its people.

29 When he gave to the sea its bound,

That the waters should not transgress his commandment,

When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

30 Then I was by him, as a master workman;

And I was daily his delight,

Rejoicing always before him,

31 Rejoicing in his habitable earth;

And my delight was with the sons of men.

29 when he set a limit for the sea 

so the waters would not overstep his command,

I made him happy day after day, 

I rejoiced in front of him all the time, 

31 found joy in his inhabited world, 

and delighted in the human race. 

29 when He set a limit for the sea

so that the waters would not violate His command,

when He laid out the foundations of the earth.

30 I was a skilled craftsman beside Him.

I was His delight every day,

always rejoicing before Him.

31 I was rejoicing in His inhabited world,

delighting in the human race.

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;

and I was daily his delight,

rejoicing before him always,

31 rejoicing in his inhabited world

and delighting in the human race.

rejoicing before him always,

31 rejoicing in the world of his earth,

and my delight was with the children of humankind.

29 It was when he set limits for the sea

so that the waters had to obey his command.

When he marked out the foundations of the earth, I was there.

I was filled with delight day after day.

I was always happy to be with him.

31 His whole world filled me with joy.

I took delight in all human beings.

And I was daily His delight,

Rejoicing always before Him,

31 Rejoicing in the world, His earth,

And having my delight in the sons of men.
