13 My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.
<JOD> Your hands have made me, and given me form: give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your teaching.
O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust? Was I not drained out like milk, becoming hard like cheese? By you I was clothed with skin and flesh, and joined together with bones and muscles. You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.
Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?
You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.

PSALM 139
Ps 139:1-24. After presenting the sublime doctrines of God's omnipresence and omniscience, the Psalmist appeals to Him, avowing his innocence, his abhorrence of the wicked, and his ready submission to the closest scrutiny. Admonition to the wicked and comfort to the pious are alike implied inferences from these doctrines.
