For You are He who took Me out of the womb, causing Me to trust while on My mother's breasts.

I was cast upon You from the womb; You are My Mighty God from My mother's belly.

I love those who love me, and those who seek me early find me.

Listen to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who were carried by Me from the belly, who were sustained from the womb;

even to your old age, I am He; and to the gray hairs I will bear you. I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Will you not now cry to Me, My father, You are the guide of my youth?

My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Your eyes saw my embryo, and in Your book I was enrolled, and all my days had been preordained, when as yet there was nothing.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Listen to Me, O coastlands; and give attention, you people from afar; Jehovah has called Me from the womb; from My mother's belly He has made mention of My name.

And now, says Jehovah who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I shall be glorious in the eyes of Jehovah, and My God shall be My strength.

Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

But I will hope continually, and I have praised You again and again.

i1 [A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.] i0 par I will bless Jehovah at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
