O Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses [so abundant in the days of David and Solomon],
Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

Before the mountains were born
Or before You had given birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are [the eternal] God.

He who made the ear, does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, does He not see?

The sea is His, for He made it [by His command];
And His hands formed the dry land.

There the ships [of the sea] sail,
And Leviathan [the sea monster], which You have formed to play there.

My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was being formed in secret,
And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.
