Trang 65 - He established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters : when He compassed the sea with its bounds and set a law to the waters, that they should not pass their limits : when He balanced the foundations of the earth, I was with Him, forming all things, and was delighted every day, playing before Him at all times, playing in the world : and my delights were to be with the children of men.
