Gratidão ao Senhor
A gratidão ao Senhor é resposta de amor diante da bondade divina. Louvar a Deus com cântico e magnificá-lo com ação de graças — isso é o que agrada ao Senhor.
Agradecer ao Senhor
Deus transformou nosso lamento em dança. Ele é digno de toda gratidão, em todo tempo e em toda circunstância.
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
I will praise the name of God with a song;
I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, "God is great!"
Gratidão constante
Em tudo dai graças. Tudo o que Deus criou é bom, quando recebido com ação de graças e paz no coração.
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Salvation belongs to the Lord!"
