This verse shows the result of the deliverance. The result is not only that life greets him with a smile, but also that, while trusting in God, he continues with his life.
We thank God for all the changes he brings to our lives. After we have experienced God as Helper, then this must strengthen our trust in Him. God’s gracious gifts always aim to increase our trust in Him!
Let that be the result of a release or a liberation.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
