¹¹ “Why^(A) did I not die at birth?
Why did I not ^[a]perish when I came from the womb?

³ “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
^(A)Who have been upheld by Me from ^[a]birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:

¹⁸ ‘Why^(A) then have You brought me out of the womb?
Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
¹⁹ I would have been as though I had not been.
I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.

¹⁴ Give them, O Lord—
What will You give?
Give them ^(A)a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!

¹³ For You formed my inward parts;
You ^[a]covered me in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I will praise You, for ^[b]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
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.

^9 (A)But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
¹⁰ I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
^(B)You have been My God.
