6. I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth:
7. I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud.
8. I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea,
9. And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,
10. And in every nation I have had the chief rule:
11. And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
12. Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle,
13. And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect.
14. From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him.
15. And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem.
16. And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of mg God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints.
17. I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion.
