Psalms with Thanksgiving

We are about to celebrate Thanksgiving in our culture where we take time remember what we are thankful for. It is also a time where we can enjoy time with family and friends while gathered around the dinner table for a big feast. For some, it is also a time to enjoy watching football whether it is the NFL or college.

While we set a day aside to give thanks, the Bible says, to give thanks always (1 Thessalonians 5:18). If you take a look in the Psalms there are a few verse that express we should be giving thanks to God or have a heart of thanksgiving unto the Lord.

Psalm 50:14


Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and perform your vows to the Most High,

Psalm 50:23


The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who orders his way rightly
I will show the salvation of God!”

Psalm 69:30


I will praise the name of God with a song;
I will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Psalm 95:2


Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

Psalm 100:4


Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

Psalm 107:22


And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!

Psalm 116:17


I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.

Psalm 147:7


Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
make melody to our God on the lyre!
