Psalm 138:8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me ( );
your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
