Gill's Notes on the Bible

When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth,.... Not only in the decree of God, as the head of the elect; foreordained to be the Redeemer of them, and to be the propitiation for their sins; and appointed the Judge of the world, and heir of all things; but "was begotten", as the Targum and Syriac version; the Septuagint is, "he begot me"; and so it is to be understood of the eternal generation and sonship of Christ; for the word חוללתי is used of generation,

Job 15:7. Christ is the firstborn of every creature, begotten, born, and brought forth before any creature was in being; see Psalms 2:7; before the depths of the great sea were formed, for they were made by him, Psalms 95:1; when there were no depths, but the infinite being and perfections of God, and the thoughts and purposes of his heart, which are his deep things, Job 11:7;

when [there were] no fountains abounding with water; or "heavy", or "honoured" k with it; when the fountains of the great deep were not; and when there were no other fountains which form rivers, and water the earth; when there were none but God the fountain of living waters; then was Christ as the only begotten son of God; and who was also set up as the fountain of all grace, life, and salvation for his people.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Genesis 1:0; Job 22:0; Job 26:1-14; Job 38:0: A world of waters, “great deeps” lying in darkness, this was the picture of the remotest time of which man could form any conception, and yet the co-existence of the uncreated Wisdom with the eternal Yahweh was before that.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 8:24. When there were no depths — תהמות tehomoth, before the original chaotic mass was formed. See Genesis 1:2.

I was brought forth — חוללתי cholalti, "I was produced as by labouring throes." Mr. Parkhurst thinks that the heathen poets derived their idea of Minerva's (wisdom's) being born of Jupiter's brain, from some such high poetic personification as that in the text.
