Psalms 139:13-17

13For thou hast possessedH7069 my reinsH3629: thou hast coveredH5526 me in my mother’sH517 wombH990.

14I will praiseH3034 thee; for I am fearfullyH3372 and wonderfully madeH6395: marvellousH6381 are thy worksH4639; and that my soulH5315 knowethH3045 right wellH3966.1

15My substanceH6108 was not hidH3582 from thee, when I was madeH6213 in secretH5643, and curiously wroughtH7551 in the lowest partsH8482 of the earthH776.2

16Thine eyesH5869 did seeH7200 my substance, yet being unperfectH1564; and in thy bookH5612 all my members were writtenH3789, which in continuanceH3117 were fashionedH3335, when as yet there was noneH259 of them.34

17How preciousH3365 also are thy thoughtsH7454 unto me, O GodH410! how greatH6105 is the sumH7218 of them!
