11. If I do say that darkness shallme cover from thy sight,Then surely shall the very nightabout me be as light.
12. Yea, darkness hideth not from thee,but night doth shine as day:To thee the darkness and the lightare both alike alway.
13. For thou possessed hast my reins,and thou hast cover'd me,When I within my mother's wombinclosed was by thee.
14. Thee will I praise; for fearfullyand strangely made I am;Thy works are marv'llous, and right wellmy soul doth know the same.
15. My substance was not hid from thee,when as in secret IWas made; and in earth's lowest partswas wrought most curiously.
16. Thine eyes my substance did behold,yet being unperfect;And in the volume of thy bookmy members all were writ;Which after in continuancewere fashion'd ev'ry one,When as they yet all shapeless were,and of them there was none.
