Psalm 139:13-16

New American Standard Bible

¹³For You ^(A)created my innermost parts;
You ^(B)wove me in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴I will give thanks to You, because ^[a]I am awesomely and wonderfully made;
^(C)Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
¹⁵My ^[b]^(D)frame was not hidden from You
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully formed in the ^(E)depths of the earth;
¹⁶Your ^(F)eyes have seen my formless substance;
And in ^(G)Your book were written
All the ^(H)days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
