In context
26 Or ever he had made the land and the wastes, or the top of the dry parts of the world:
27 When he prepared the heavens, there, was I! When he decreed a vault upon the face of the resounding deep;
28 When he made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the resounding deep, waxed strong;

30 Then became I beside him, a firm and sure worker, then became I filled with delight, day by day, exulting before him on every occasion;
31 Exulting in the fruitful land of his earth, Yea, my fulness of delight, was with the sons of men.
32 Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, for how happy are they who, to my ways, pay regard!
