Psalms 116:12

What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
Read Chapter 116

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
9. "What," he asketh, "what reward shall I give unto the Lord, for all the benefits that He hath returned unto me?" (ver. 12). He saith not, for all the benefits that He hath done unto me but "for all the benefits that He hath returned unto me." What deeds then on the man's Dart had preceded, that all the benefits of God were not said to be given, but returned? What had preceded, on the man's part, save sins? God therefore repayeth good for evil, whilst unto Him men repay evil for good; for such was the return of those who said, "This is the heir: come, let us kill him."

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
