'Thanks' in the Bible

David appointed some of the Levites to be ministers before the ark of the Lord, to celebrate the Lord God of Israel, and to give thanks and praise to Him.

On that day David decreed for the first time that thanks be given to the Lord by Asaph and his relatives:

Give thanks to Yahweh; call on His name;proclaim His deeds among the peoples.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;His faithful love endures forever.

And say: “Save us, God of our salvation;gather us and rescue us from the nationsso that we may give thanks to Your holy nameand rejoice in Your praise.

With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord—for His faithful love endures forever.

They are also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise in the evening.

From Jeduthun: Jeduthun’s sons:Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah—six—under the authority of their father Jeduthun, prophesying to the accompaniment of lyres, giving thanks and praise to the Lord.

Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks and praise Your glorious name.
