13  For thou hast vpossessed my reins:

Thou hast wcovered me in my mother’s womb.

14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

xMarvellous are thy works;

And that my soul knoweth †right well.

15  yMy ||substance was not hid from thee,

When I was made in secret,

And zcuriously wrought in athe lowest parts of the earth.

16  yThine 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  bHow precious also are cthy thoughts unto me, O God!

How great is dthe sum of them!

18  If I eshould count them, they are more in number than fthe sand:

When I awake, I am still with thee.

19  gSurely thou wilt hslay the wicked, O God:

iDepart from me therefore, kye bloody men.

20  For they lspeak against thee wickedly,

And thine menemies take nthy name in vain.
