For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
Thus says the Lord who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
“Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb;
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?
