13 For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.
Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again? Haven't you poured me out like milk, And curdled me like cheese? You have clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews. You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
Didn't he who made me in the womb make him? Didn't one fashion us in the womb?
I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise 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.
