when Thou tookest upon Thee to deliver man

I know the meaning of this sentence because do the translation. Actually, I can't understand it literally. Even I can't search the meaning of "toolset".
Could you tell me what are these words?

When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man means When you gave yourself the task of rescuing mankind (from sin/death) Thou tookest is a second person singular form that is not used in English today. In today's English it would be You took . Thee is the matching form for the object of the sentence (like he/him, she/her).

So it is that Tookest is took! It's the hardest part for me to understand the whole sentence. Thank you!

The thou/thee/thine form (thine = belonging to thee =.your) largely dropped out of use about 300 years ago, although it is still sometimes used in religious ceremonies, and lingers in some dialects.
