For You, You possessed my kidneys, You have covered me in my mother’s womb.
For thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother's womb.
For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother’s womb.
You are the one who created my innermost parts; you knit me together while I was still in my mother’s womb.
I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.
I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
Did not He who made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?
Yod Your hands have made me and formed me; Make me understand, that I might learn Your commands.
Upon You I have leaned from my birth; You took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of You.
Come, let us bow down and bend low, Let us kneel before יהוה our Maker.
Thus said יהוה who made you and formed you from the womb, who helps you, ‘Do not fear, O Ya‛aqoḇ My servant, and Yeshurun, whom I have chosen.
“Listen to Me, O house of Ya‛aqoḇ, and all the remnant of the house of Yisra’ĕl, who are borne from the belly, who are carried from the womb:
“Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I did set you apart – I appointed you a prophet to nations.”
If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling?
