Psalm 139:13

Contemporary English Version 1995

You are the one who put me together inside my mother's body,

See the chapter Copy

“Jeremiah, I am your Creator, and before you were born, I chose you to speak for me to the nations.”

You created me and put me together. Make me wise enough to learn what you have commanded.

I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born. Israel, don't be terrified! You are my chosen servant, my very favorite.

After all, God is the one who gave life to each of us before we were born.

You survivors in Israel, listen to me, the Lord. Since the day you were born, I have carried you along.

I have relied on you from the day I was born. You brought me safely through birth, and I always praise you.

Bow down and worship the Lord our Creator!

If our bodies were only an eye, we couldn't hear a thing. And if they were only an ear, we couldn't smell a thing.
