13. For You have created my conscience. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14. I praise You, for I am awesomely, wonderfully made! Wonderful are Your works— and my soul knows that very well.
15. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16. Your eyes saw me when I was unformed, and in Your book were written the days that were formed— when not one of them had come to be.
17. How precious are Your thoughts, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18. Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand! When I awake, I am still with You.
19. If only You would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloody men!
20. For they speak about You with wicked intent. Your enemies reproach You in vain.
21. Do I not hate those who hate You, Adonai? Do I not loathe those who rise against You?
22. I hate them with total hatred— I consider them my enemies.
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart. Examine me, and know my anxious thoughts,
24. and see if there be any offensive way within me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
