I'm looking for the EXACT phrase from the bible here as it is a quote from the bible used in the context of a letter sent out to parishioners.

How shall I repay the Lord for all he has done for me?
Explanation:
Psalm 115 (116B)
Thanksgiving in the Temple
Still I trusted, even when I said “I am greatly afflicted”,
when I said in my terror, “all men are liars”.

How shall I repay the Lord for all he has done for me?
I will take up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
