You are Uniquely Created

Text: Psalm 139:13–14 “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.”

139:13 The Hebrew word used here, kilyah, can refer to organs like kidneys in sacrificial animals. It is also used metaphorically for one’s inner self and is often used parallel to the heart (see Jer 11:20) {John D. Barry, Douglas Mangum, et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016)}.

Ps 139:13. 139:23–24 Several key terms from vv. 1–3 are repeated in vv. 23–24 (see note on vv. 1–6). In response to God’s knowledge and power, the psalmist desires for God to examine him afresh (v. 23).
