Proverbs 8:28-30
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
28 when he made firm the skies above,
when he established[a] the fountains of the deep,
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 workman;[b]
and I was daily his[c] delight,
rejoicing before him always,
