Psalms 116:10
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
