'Thing' in the Bible

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

{A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.} It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
