2. Before the mountains were brought forth.
Mountains to him are young things whose birth was but yesterday. Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world. Earth was born but the other
day, and her solid land was delivered from the Flood but a short while ago. Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God, or, “thou art, O God.” God
was, when nothing else was. He was God when the earth was not a world but a
chaos. If God himself were of yesterday, he would not be a suitable refuge for
mortals. The eternal existence of God is here mentioned to set forth, by
contrast, the brevity of human life.
