Psalm 139:13-24

English Standard Version

¹³For you ^(A)formed my inward parts;
    you ^(B)knitted me together in my mother's womb.
¹⁴I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.^[a]
^(C)Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
¹⁵^(D)My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in ^(E)the depths of the earth.
¹⁶Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your ^(F)book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

¹⁷How precious to me are your ^(G)thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸^(H)If I would count them, they are more than ^(I)the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.

¹⁹Oh that you would ^(J)slay the wicked, O God!
    O ^(K)men of blood, ^(L)depart from me!
²⁰They ^(M)speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies ^(N)take your name in vain.^[b]
²¹^(O)Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not ^(P)loathe those who ^(Q)rise up against you?
²²I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

²³Search me, O God, and know my heart!
^(R)Try me and know my thoughts!^[c]
²⁴And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and ^(S)lead me in ^(T)the way everlasting!^[d]
