16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all the days ordained for me were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!

How vast is the sum of them!

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

the days that were formed for me,

when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

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!

16 You saw me before I was born.

Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out

before a single day had passed.

17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.

They cannot be numbered!

16 you saw my body as it was formed.

All the days planned for me

were written in your book

before I was one day old.

17 God, your thoughts are precious to me.

They are so many!

16 Thine 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.

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

How great is the sum of them!

16 Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all my members were written; during many days were they fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

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

16 Your eyes saw me when I was still an unborn child. 

Every day ⸤of my life⸥ was recorded in your book 

before one of them had taken place. 

17 How precious are your thoughts concerning me, O God! 

How vast in number they are! 

16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless;

all my days were written in Your book and planned

before a single one of them began.

17 God, how difficult Your thoughts are

for me to comprehend;

how vast their sum is!

16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.

In your book were written

all the days that were formed for me,

when none of them as yet existed.

17 How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

16 Your eyes saw my embryo,

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 are your thoughts, O God;

how vast is their sum.

16 your eyes saw my body even before it was formed.

You planned how many days I would live.

You wrote down the number of them in your book

before I had lived through even one of them.

17 God, your thoughts about me are priceless.

No one can possibly add them all up.

16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

And in Your book were all written

The days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was not one of them.

17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!
