9. Before the ages, from the beginning,he created me,and till eternity I will never fail.
10. I ministered before him in the holy tent,and so I was established in Zion.
11. In the same way, he madethe dearly loved city my resting placeand established my authorityin Jerusalem.
12. I took root in a glorified people;among the people the Lord chosefor his inheritance.
13. ‘I rose high like a cedar in Lebanon,like a cypress on Mount Hermon.
14. I rose high like a palm in En-geddi,and like rosebushes in Jericho,like a fair olive tree in a field.I rose high like a plane tree.
