10  On you was I cast from my birth,

and from ^mmy mother’s womb you have been my God.

6  Upon you I have leaned ^ofrom before my birth;

you are he who ^ptook me from my mother’s womb.

My praise is continually of you.

3  Behold, ^bchildren are a heritage from the Lord,

^cthe fruit of the womb a reward.

24  Thus says the Lord, ^eyour Redeemer,

^fwho formed you from the womb:

^g“I am the Lord, who made all things,

^hwho alone stretched out the heavens,

who spread out the earth by myself,

15  ⁿ“Can a woman forget her nursing child,

that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?

Even these may forget,

yet I will not forget you.

5  ⁱ“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

and before you were born ^jI consecrated you;

I appointed you a prophet ^kto the nations.”
