Psalms 116:13

Psalms 116:13. I will take-

The psalmist asks, "What shall I render?" and he answers, "I will take." That is a strange way of rendering, is it not? Yes, brethren, but that is the way for us to show our gratitude to the Lord for all his benefits toward us. John Newton was right when he wrote, -

"The best return for one like me,

So wretched and so poor,

Is from his gifts to draw a plea,

And ask him still for more."

"I will take" -
