“Your hands shaped(A) me and made me.
    Will you now turn and destroy me?(B)
Remember that you molded me like clay.(C)
    Will you now turn me to dust again?(D)
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
    and curdle me like cheese,
11 clothe me with skin and flesh
    and knit me together(E) with bones and sinews?
12 You gave me life(F) and showed me kindness,(G)
    and in your providence(H) watched over(I) my spirit.

“‘You formed me with your hands; you made me,
    yet now you completely destroy me.
Remember that you made me from dust—
    will you turn me back to dust so soon?
10 You guided my conception
    and formed me in the womb.[a]
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh,
    and you knit my bones and sinews together.
12 You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love.
    My life was preserved by your care.
