24When there were no tdepths, I was ubrought forth;
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25Before the mountains vwere settled,
wBefore the hills was I ubrought forth:
26While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the ||fields,
Nor ||the xhighest part of the dust of the world.
27When he yprepared the heavens, I was there:
When he zset ||a compass upon the face of the tdepth:
28When he established the clouds above:
When he strengthened the fountains of the tdeep:
29aWhen he gave to the sea bhis decree,
That the waters should not pass his commandment:

ESVEnglish Standard Version
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,
before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
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,

NIVNew International Version (2011)
When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.
I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
I was born
when there were no watery depths
and no springs filled with water.
Before the mountains
were established, prior to the hills, I was given birth—
before he made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.
I was there when he established the heavens,
when he laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,
when he placed the skies above,
when the fountains of the ocean gushed out,
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.

NLTNew Living Translation
I was born before the oceans were created,
before the springs bubbled forth their waters.
Before the mountains were formed,
before the hills, I was born—
before he had made the earth and fields
and the first handfuls of soil.
I was there when he established the heavens,
when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
I was there when he set the clouds above,
when he established springs deep in the earth.
I was there when he set the limits of the seas,
so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.
And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,

When there were no depths, I was brought forth,
when there were no springs of abounding water.
Before mountains had been shaped,
before hills, I was brought forth.
When he had not yet made earth and fields,
or the first dust of the world,
when he established the heavens, there I was,
when he drew a circle upon the face of the deep,
when he made skies from above,
when he founded fountains of the deep,
when he assigned his limits to the sea,
that waters shall not transgress his command,
when he marked the foundations of the earth,
