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.
Thou hast turned my wailing into joy to me; thou hast rent my sack-cloth, and hast encompassed me with gladness.
That my glory sing to thee, and I be not compunct; my Lord God, I shall acknowledge to thee without end.
I shall praise the name of God with song; and I shall magnify him with praising.
enter ye into his gates in acknowl-edging; enter ye into his porches, acknowledge ye to him in hymns. Praise ye his name,
All men that seek thee, make fully joy [or full out joy they], and be glad in thee; and they that love thine health, say ever[more], The Lord be magnified.
Gratidão constante
Em tudo dai graças. Tudo o que Deus criou é bom, quando recebido com ação de graças e paz no coração.
in all things do ye thankings. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus, in all you.
For each creature of God is good, and nothing is to be cast away, which is taken with doing of thankings;
for it is hallowed by the word of God, and by prayer.
And the peace of Christ enjoy in your hearts, in which ye be called in one body, and be ye kind.
But I in voice of praising shall offer to thee; whatever things I vowed, I shall yield to the Lord, for mine health.
