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.
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.
