Why did he say "Alecha Nismachti mi'Beten"?

1.

Radak: Even though I did not know, when I left my mother's womb, I relied on You, for You prepared my food via my mother.

2.

Malbim: Not only from my youth - rather, even in my mother's womb, my entire existence is via You.

2)

What do we learn from "mi'Me'ei Imi Atah Gozi"?

1.

Sotah 45b: The initial creation of a fetus is the head - "from my mother's womb, You formed my head." "Gazi Nizrech" (Yirmeyah 7:29) teaches that Gozi refers to the head.

2.

Nidah 30b-31a: Before one is born, an oath is imposed on him. 'You must be a Tzadik... know that Hashem gave to you a Tahor Neshamah. If you will not guard its Taharah, He will take it back.' Gozi refers to an oath - "Gazi Nizrech... " (Yirmeyah 7:29; Nezirus is similar to an oath).

3.

Rashi, Radak: You take me out and move me, like "va'Yagaz Selavim Min ha'Yam" (Bamidbar 11:31). Radak - Gozi is To'ar (i.e. one who takes out); Goz has the same grammatical form as Tov.

4.

Malbim: You cut and detach the fetus from the Me'ayim at the beginning of its formation, and move it to the Beten.

3)

Why did he say "Becha Sehilasi Samid"?

1.

Radak: I always praise myself in You, for the good that You constantly do with me.

2.

Malbim: All my praise was only in You; if You will not save me, there will be Chilul Hashem.
