Psalms 139:13-16

13 For you ¹formed my inward parts; you ²knitted me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.^{[a] 3}Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

15 ⁴My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in ⁵the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your ⁶book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Psalms 139:13-16 In-Context

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,"

12 even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.

13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.
