11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark(A) to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

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)
    I know that full well.
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.
