4 Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, "Rejoice!"
13 For you formed my inmost being.
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
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 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is their sum!
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.
12 So teach us to count our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
9 But you brought me out of the womb.
You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
10 I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb.
You are my God since my mother bore me.
6 I have relied on you from the womb.
You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb.
I will always praise you.
24 This is the day that the LORD has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it!
4 One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after:
that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life,
to see the LORD’s beauty,
and to enquire in his temple.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
3 For I was a son to my father,
tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me, and said to me:
"Let your heart retain my words.
Keep my commandments, and live.
