'Took' in the Bible

He reached down and took me; he drew me from many waters.

Yet, you are the one who took me from the womb, and kept me safe on my mother's breasts.

You have turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with a garment of joy,

I waited expectantly for the LORD, and he took notice of me and heard my cry.

You ascended to the heights, you took captives. You received gifts among mankind, even the rebellious, so the LORD God may live there.

Then he chose his servant David, whom he took from the sheepfold.

You took away the iniquity of your people, forgiving all their sins Interlude

He loved to curse may his curses return upon him! He took no delight in blessing others so may blessings be far from him.

The LORD took an oath and will never recant: "You are a priest forever, after the manner of Melchizedek."
