Psalm 139:13-16
English Standard Version
13 For you (A)formed my inward parts;
you (B)knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
(C)Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 (D)My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in (E)the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your (F)book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
