Psalm 116:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 I believed; therefore, I said,[a]
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11 In my dismay I cried out,
“All men are liars.”[b]
12 How can I repay the Lord
for all the good he has done for me?
Footnotes
- Psalm 116:10 I believed; therefore, I said: the psalmist kept faith even in the darkest times (see 2 Cor 4:13 where this text is cited).
- Psalm 116:11 All men are liars: the psalmist avers that his enemies are telling falsehoods about him (see Pss 5:10f; 35:11, 15; 109:2-4), because all people are liars. He could also be alluding to the fact that all people offer only a false hope of deliverance. These words are cited in Rom 3:4.
