14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

14 I praise you, because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works,
and my soul knows it well.
15 My frame[b] was not hidden from you,
when I was created secretly,[c]
and intricately woven
in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my embryo,[d]
and in your book they all were written—
days fashioned for me when there was not one of them.
17 And to me, how precious[e] are your thoughts, O God;
how vast is their sum.
