Psalms 139:17 in context

Psalms 139:14–20

14

I will give thanks to you,

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Your works are wonderful.

My soul knows that very well.

15

My frame wasn’t hidden from you,

when I was made in secret,

woven together in the depths of the earth.

16

Your eyes saw my body.

In your book they were all written,

the days that were ordained for me,

when as yet there were none of them.

17
Selected verse

How precious to me are your thoughts, God!

How vast is their sum!

18

If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.

When I wake up, I am still with you.

19

If only you, God, would kill the wicked.

Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20

For they speak against you wickedly.

Your enemies take your name in vain.
