The latter part (all his benefits are towards me) are added as a reason of his resolution. The first particle (for) is not in the Original. It maketh the sense somewhat doubtful. Some set it down as a preposition, without any stop betwixt the former and this part, making but one entire clause of all, and setting the interrogative point in the end of all, thus, eWhat shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me? Others make two distinct sentences, and place the interrogative in the end of the first clause, thus, fWhat shall I render to the Lord? all his benefits are towards me. The Kings Translators set a colon betwixt the two parts: which doth so distinguish them as two sentences. This difference is not great: howsoever the sentences be pointed, it is evident that the latter is added as a reason of the former. He was inquisitive what to render to God, because God had been beneficial to him.
