Jeremiah 17:12

Then I said, ¹  “Lord, from the very beginning you have been seated on your glorious throne on high. You are the place where we can find refuge.

A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

A glorious throne on high from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary.

But we worship at your throne––eternal, high, and glorious!

From early on your Sanctuary was set high, a throne of glory, exalted!

A seat of glory, placed on high from the first, is our holy place.

O glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, shrine of our sanctuary!

A glorious high throne from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary.

Then I said, ¹  “Lord, from the very beginning you have been seated on your glorious throne on high. You are the place where we can find refuge.
