6. In the waves of the sea and in every land,and among every people and nation,I led the way.

7. I sought a resting placeamong all of these.In whose allotted territoryshould I make my home?

8. “Then the creator of all thingsgave me a command;the one who created me pitched my tentand said, ‘Make your dwelling in Jacob,and let Israel receive your inheritance.’

9. Before the ages, from the beginning,he created me,and till eternity I will never fail.
