Proverbs 8:28-30
Contemporary English Version
28 I was with him when he placed
the clouds in the sky
and created the springs
that fill the ocean.
29 I was there when he set
boundaries for the sea
to make it obey him,
and when he laid foundations
to support the earth.
30 I was right beside the Lord,
helping him plan and build.[a]
I made him happy each day,
and I was happy at his side.
