Daily Bible Verse - 1/10/2008 - Psalm 139:13-14

NIV For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
KJV For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
NASB For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother's womb.

Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:13-14

Commentary
These verses avow that personhood does exist from the moment of conception. The psalmist affirms God's knowledge of his life from the pre-embryonic stage through death. The Lord weaves and knits together our beings in the wombs of our mothers.
