139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
139:14 I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.
139:15 My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.
139:16 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.
139:17 But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O łGod! how great is the sum of them!
139:18 [If] I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
139:19 Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O +God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.
139:20 For they speak of thee wickedly, they take [thy name] in vain, thine enemies.
139:21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? and do not I loathe them that rise up against thee?
139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I account them mine enemies.
139:23 Search me, O łGod, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts;
139:24 And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
