8 ‘Your^a hands have made me and fashioned me,
An intricate unity;
Yet You would ^bdestroy me. ‡

9 Remember, I pray, ^athat You have made me like clay.
And will You turn me into dust again? ‡

11 Clothe me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews?

12 You have granted me life and favor,
And Your care has preserved my spirit.
