14 I will give thanks to You, because [a]I am awesomely and wonderfully made;
(A)Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15 My [b](B)frame was not hidden from You
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully formed in the (C)depths of the earth;
16 Your (D)eyes have seen my formless substance;
And in (E)Your book were written
All the (F)days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.

17 How precious also are Your (G)thoughts for me, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would (H)outnumber the sand.
When (I)I awake, I am still with You.
