For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. God's creative action in forming the psalmist is presented as the foundation for divine omniscience; God knows the psalmist exhaustively because God has created the psalmist. Knitted together suggests intimate craftsmanship; the divine formation of the human body is detailed and purposeful. The mother's womb becomes the location of God's direct creative work; formation of human life is God's own activity. This verse grounds omniscience in creative origination; to create is to know completely.
