15 While you caused me to grow in a secret place,
    none of my body was hidden from you.
    You made me deep in the earth.[a]
16 Your eyes watched me before I was born.

    that I cannot understand them all.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made(A) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together(B) in the depths of the earth.(C)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained(D) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](E) God!(F)
    How vast is the sum of them!
