Psalm 139:13-16

New International Version

¹³For you created my inmost being;^(A)
    you knit me together^(B) in my mother’s womb.^(C)
¹⁴I praise you^(D) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,^(E)
    I know that full well.
¹⁵My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made^(F) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together^(G) in the depths of the earth.^(H)
¹⁶Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained^(I) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.

At the Home of Martha and Mary

She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care^(D) that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

⁴¹“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried^(E) and upset about many things, ⁴²but few things are needed—or indeed only one.^[a]^(F) Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
