^5 (A)“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born ^(B)I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet ^(C)to the nations.”

¹³ For you ^(A)formed my inward parts;
    you ^(B)knitted me together in my mother's womb.
¹⁴ I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.^[a]
(C)Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
^15 (D)My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in ^(E)the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your ^(F)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 ^(G)thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
^18 (H)If I would count them, they are more than ^(I)the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.
