¹³ For you created my inmost being;^(A)
    you knit me together^(B) in my mother’s womb.^(C)
14 I praise you^(D) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,^(E)
    I know that full well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made^(F) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together^(G) in the depths of the earth.^(H)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained^(I) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts,^[a](J) God!^(K)
    How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸ Were I to count them,^(L)
    they would outnumber the grains of sand^(M)—
    when I awake,^(N) I am still with you.

¹⁹ If only you, God, would slay the wicked!^(O)
    Away from me,^(P) you who are bloodthirsty!^(Q)
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
    your adversaries^(R) misuse your name.^(S)
21 Do I not hate those^(T) who hate you, Lord,
    and abhor^(U) those who are in rebellion against you?
²² I have nothing but hatred for them;
    I count them my enemies.^(V)
23 Search me,^(W) God, and know my heart;^(X)
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
²⁴ See if there is any offensive way^(Y) in me,
    and lead me^(Z) in the way everlasting.
