你為甚麼使我出母胎呢？我不如死去，無人得見我，這樣，就像從來沒有我一樣，一出母腹就被送入墳墓。

願他們像蝸牛般蠕行消融，如同婦人流產未見天日的胎兒。

然而，是你使我從母腹中出來的；我在母親的懷裡，你就使我有倚靠的心。我自出母胎，就被交託給你；我一出母腹，你就是我的神。

我母親哪！我有禍了，因為你生了我，這個跟全地相爭相鬥的人。我從沒有借錢給人，也沒有向人借錢，可是人人都咒罵我。

耶和華啊，求你賜給他們；你要賜給他們甚麼呢？求你使他們墜胎小產，乳房萎縮。

“雅各家啊，以色列家所有餘剩的人哪！你們都要聽我的話，你們自出母腹，就蒙我懷抱；自出母胎，就蒙我提攜。

我自出母胎就倚賴你，把我從母腹中領出來的就是你，我要常常讚美你。

我的臟腑是你所造的，在我母腹中你塑造了我。我要稱謝你，因為我的受造奇妙可畏；你的作為奇妙，這是我深深知道的。我在隱密處被造，在地的深處被塑造，那時，我的形體不能向你隱藏。我未成形的身體，你的眼睛早已看見；為我所定的日子，我還未度過一日，都完全記在你的冊上了。
