Psalms 139:16

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.

Thine eyes {H5869} did see {H7200} my substance, yet being unperfect {H1564}; and in thy book {H5612} all my members were written {H3789}, which in continuance {H3117} were fashioned {H3335}, when as yet there was none {H259} of them.

Your eyes could see me as an embryo, but in your book all my days were already written; my days had been shaped before any of them existed.

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.

Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Eventhe days that were ordainedfor me, When as yet there was none of them.
