For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my
mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that
my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from
You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my
substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they
all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet
there were none of them. How precious also are Your
thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If
I should count them, they would be more in number
than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
