Psalm 116:9-14
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
" For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing. I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living. I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly. I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.' What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me. The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call. My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people."

Genesis 15:5-7
Amplified Bible (AMP)
"And He brought him outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars—if you are able to number them. Then He said to him, So shall your descendants be. And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right standing with God). And He said to him, I am the [same] Lord, Who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees to give you this land as an inheritance."
