From the Bible

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3–4

I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know this very well. Psalm 139:14 (HCSB)

I remain confident of this:
  I will see the goodness of the Lord
  in the land of the living.
Psalm 27:13
(the verse J couldn't think of in the moment!)

“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—
  the great locust and the young locust,
  the other locusts and the locust swarm—
my great army that I sent among you.
You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
  and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,
  who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed."
Joel 2:25–26

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:31–32
