Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was brought forth;

A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.

Don't lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don't destroy his resting place:

Don't exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;

There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn't bless their mother.
