- Psalm 139:13-16

You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
