“Your hands shaped me and formed me.
Will You now turn and destroy me?
Please remember that You formed me like clay.
Will You now return me to dust?(A)
10 Did You not pour me out like milk
and curdle me like cheese?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh,
and wove me together with bones and tendons.
12 You gave me life and faithful love,
and Your care has guarded my life.

    and you knit my bones and sinews together.
12 You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love.
    My life was preserved by your care.
