| Psalm 139:13-16 |
| You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew; my bones were not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth. Your eyes forsaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be. |
