When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

Da die Tiefen noch nicht waren, da war ich schon geboren, da die Brunnen noch nicht mit Wasser quollen.
Antes de los abismos fui engendrada; Antes que fuesen las fuentes de las muchas aguas.
Je fus enfantée quand il n'y avait point d'abîmes, Point de sources chargées d'eaux;
Avanti che fossero abissi, Nè fonti, nè gorghi d’acque, io fui prodotta.
Quando ainda não havia abismos, fui gerada, quando ainda não havia fontes carregadas de águas.
沒有深淵, 沒有大水的泉源,我已出生。
