For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Your hands have made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
Thus says the Lord who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: ‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, Who have been upheld by Me from birth, Who have been carried from the womb:
By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be 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 hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
