'Thanking' in the Bible

He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord and to profess [God’s name] and to thank and praise the Lord, the God of Israel:

in unison when the trumpeters and singers were to make themselves heard with one voice praising and thanking the Lord, and when they raised their voices accompanied by the trumpets and cymbals and [other] instruments of music, and when they praised the Lord, saying, “For He is good, for His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever,” then the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud,

At once Zacharias’ mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began speaking, praising and blessing and thanking God.

He immediately stood up before them, picked up his stretcher, and went home glorifying and praising God.

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying and praising and honoring God with a loud voice;

and he lay face downward at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. He was a Samaritan.
