16 Thine eyes did see mine unperfect substance, and in thy book were all my members written, which day by day were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. ERV — Psalm 139:16
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! ERV — Psalm 139:17
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. ERV — Psalm 139:18
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men. ERV — Psalm 139:19
