11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
    and the light around me to become night—
12     but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
    Darkness and light are the same to you.

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
    and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
    before a single day had passed.

13 For you created my inmost being;(B)
    you knit me together(C) in my mother’s womb.(D)
14 I praise you(E) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,(F)

15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made(G) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together(H) in the depths of the earth.(I)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained(J) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
