Psalm 139:13-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.(A)
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well.(B)
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.(C)
16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.
In your book were written
all the days that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed.[a]
17 How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!(D)
18 I try to count them—they are more than the sand;
I come to the end[b]—I am still with you.
19 O that you would kill the wicked, O God,
and that the bloodthirsty would depart from me—(E)
20 those who speak of you maliciously
and lift themselves up against you for evil
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?(G)
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.(H)
24 See if there is any wicked[d] way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.[e](I)

8 Your hands fashioned and made me,
and now you turn and destroy me.[a](A)

and will you turn me to dust again?(B)
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and curdle me like cheese?(C)
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh
and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 You have granted me life and steadfast love,
and your care has preserved my spirit.(D)
13 Yet these things you hid in your heart;
I know that this was your purpose.
