Psalms 116:9
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
