Study Note
The declaration 'I am fearfully and wonderfully made' appears within a psalm meditating on God's omniscience and intimate knowledge of each person from conception. The Hebrew 'nora' (fearfully/awesomely) and 'niflaiti' (wonderfully/wonderously) are cultic terms used elsewhere for God's miraculous acts, here applied to ordinary human formation — the everyday is framed as miraculous. The psalm's movement from God's knowledge (verses 1-6) to God's presence (7-12) to God's creation of the self (13-16) climaxes here in a response of wonder. The verse is frequently cited in contemporary discussions of human dignity, prenatal life, and disability ethics, though these applications extend beyond the psalm's original scope.
