WHAT SHALL I RENDER TO THE LORD?

Text: Psalm 116
22 February 2026

THE BLESSINGS OF GOD

The blessings of God are numerous. The word “benefits” was also used to describe the Lord’s blessings as we read in Psalm 103:2. The response of the Psalmist extends to serving the Lord!

12 What shall I render to the LORD

For all His benefits toward me?

13 I will take up the cup of salvation,

And call upon the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD

Now in the presence of all His people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD

Is the death of His saints.

16 O LORD, truly I am Your servant;

I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;

You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And will call upon the name of the LORD.     Psalm 116:12-17
