Psalms 27:13

Had I not believed (if I had not been certain) that [I would] see the goodness of the Lord (Yahweh) in the land of the living ... [yes, then I might have given up, not knowing what to do, lost my faith, etc.]
[The sentence is not finished; it is a so-called aposiopesis. Instead of explicitly describing a few different alternatives for what would happen if David did not believe that he would see God's goodness, these thoughts are left to the reader. The story pauses and the listener is left to ponder the emotionally charged question. What would happen if God did not intervene now and show his goodness? What would happen if false witnesses who breathed violence got their way? The expression "the land of the living" probably refers to life here on earth among the people who are alive and have not died.]
