12 (A)even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

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

  1. Psalm 139:14 Or for I am fearfully set apart

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.
