23I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;s
25before the mountains were settled in place,t
before the hills, I was given birth,u
26before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.v

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Ages ago I was set up,
at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
I was formed before ancient times,
from the beginning, before the earth began.
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.

NLTNew Living Translation
I was appointed in ages past,
at the very first, before the earth began.
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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
From eternity, I was set up from the first,
from the beginning of the earth.
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,

KJV 1900King James Version
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
Or ever the earth was.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth;
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills was I brought forth:
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
Nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
