For You have created my conscience. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I set you apart— I appointed you prophet to the nations.”
Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding that I may learn Your mitzvot.
Thus says Adonai who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you: “Do not fear, Jacob My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Did not He who made me in the womb, make him? Did not the same one form us in the womb?
“Listen to Me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, borne by Me from birth, carried from the womb.
From my birth I have leaned on You. You took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise is always about You.
Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before Adonai our Maker.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
