Psalm 8:4-6 4 But why are people even important to you? Why do you take care of human beings? 5 You made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. 6 You put them in charge of everything you made. You put all things under their control: NCV

Psalm 139:13-18

Psalm 139:15-16 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. TNIV

Psalm 139:17-18 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you. TNIV
