14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
    before a single day had passed.

17 How precious are your thoughts about me,[a] O God.
    They cannot be numbered!
18 I can’t even count them;
    they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
    you are still with me!

  1. 139:17 Or How precious to me are your thoughts.

14 I praise you(A) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,(B)
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made(C) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together(D) in the depths of the earth.(E)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained(F) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](G) God!(H)
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(I)
    they would outnumber the grains of sand(J)
    when I awake,(K) I am still with you.
