(2) verse 13 For thou my reins possessed hast and also covered me ⟨image ?⟩Within my mothers womb thou hast: verse 14 My praise shall be of thee, Because that I am fashioned thus in fearful wondrous wise; And that thy works are marvellous, my soul right-well descries.

verse 15 From thee my substance was not hid when closely made was I; And when that I was fashioned in earths deeps curiously. verse 16 Thine eyes did on my substance look when yet I wanted frame: And all my members in thy Book were written down by name.
Which day by day should fashioned be when none of them were c•me. verse 17 How precious are thy thoughts to me, O God! how great's their sum? verse 18 If I of them account should take▪ more than the sands they be: And still when that I do awake, I present am with thee.
