The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 (D)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You (E)visit[b] him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than [c]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 (F)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(G)You have put all things under his feet,

But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

13 For You formed my inward parts;
You [a]covered me in my mother’s womb.

Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 (A)My [c]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
