13For thou didst form my inward parts:

Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.

14I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

Wonderful are thy works;

And that my soul knoweth right well.

15My frame was not hidden from thee,

When I was made in secret,

And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance;

And in thy book they were all written,

Even the days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was none of them.

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!

How great is the sum of them!

18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:

When I awake, I am still with thee.

19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:

Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

20For they speak against thee wickedly,

And thine enemies take thy name in vain.

21Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee?

And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

22I hate them with perfect hatred:

They are become mine enemies.

23Search me, O God, and know my heart:

Try me, and know my thoughts;

24And see if there be any wicked way in me,

And lead me in the way everlasting.
