1 Give thanks to Yahweh, because he always does good things for us

His faithful love for us lasts forever!

34 Thank Yahweh, because everything that he does is good.

Tell the people of all nations what he has done.

35 Say to him, "God, you are the one who rescues us,

so gather us together and save us from the armies of other nations.

When you do that, we will thank you [MTY],

and we will be happy to praise you."

2 I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh

and never forget all the kind things he has done for me:

1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being.

I will tell others about all the wonderful things that you have done.

16 I thank God for you constantly [LIT, HYP]. I ◄mention/pray for► you constantly, whenever I pray.

20 At all times thank God, who is our heavenly Father, for everything, especially for what the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY] has done for you.

19 Sing to each other ◄Psalms/songs with words from the Scriptures►, sing other songs that the congregation knows, and songs that God’s Spirit gives you. Sing these Psalms and other songs sincerely to praise the Lord Jesus. 20 At all times thank God, who is our heavenly Father, for everything, especially for what the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY] has done for you.

4 Do not use obscene/shameful language when you talk to people. Do not talk foolishly. Do not use vulgar/indecent language, because it is not appropriate/fitting that God’s people should talk like that. Instead, tell people how much you thank God for all he does for you.

6 Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray to God, tell him what you need, and ask him to help you [DOU]. Also thank him for what he does for you.

6 Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray to God, tell him what you need, and ask him to help you [DOU]. Also thank him for what he does for you. 7 As a result, God will enable you not to worry about anything [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds in every way) [PRS]. That is, he will cause you to have inner peace because you have a relationship with Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!!

11 I am saying this not because I am concerned that I lack things that I need. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am.

11 God will give you many blessings in many different ways as a result of your generously helping others. Furthermore, the generous gift that you are getting ready for us (exc) to take to the believers in Judea province will cause many people to thank God.

11 God will give you many blessings in many different ways as a result of your generously helping others. Furthermore, the generous gift that you are getting ready for us (exc) to take to the believers in Judea province will cause many people to thank God.

15 So I say that all these things that we(exc) suffer happen in order to help you. We have suffered all this in order that more and more people, as a result of hearing that God will kindly/freely forgive their sins, will thank him and praise him. Then they will greatly honor him and worship him.

10 Although we (exc) are often very sad because people have rejected our message, we are always joyful because of all that God has done for us. Even though we (exc) are poor, we make it possible for many people to be spiritually rich. It is true that in this world we (exc) have nothing valuable [HYP], but because we belong to God’s family, all that God has belongs to us.

57 But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done, he enables us to be free from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die. We should thank God for that!

4 I very often [HYP] thank God for you because he has acted toward you kindly, acting in ways that you do not deserve. He has done this because of your ◄having a close relationship with/being united to► Christ Jesus.

3 Our fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought to thank God for each other, and specifically it is appropriate/right that we should thank God for you. We thank him that you are trusting in the Lord Jesus more and more, and that each one of you is loving each of the others more and more.

36 God is the one who created all things. He is also the one who sustains all things. The reason that he created them was that everything he created might praise him. May all people honor him forever! ◄May it be so!/Amen!►

21 Although the non-Jews knew what God is like, they did not honor him as God, nor did they thank him for what he had done. But instead, they began to think foolish things about him, and they became unable to understand [MET] what he wanted them to know.

4 We can eat all kinds of food because God has created all food, and it is all good. We should not refuse to eat certain kinds of food if we thank God for it when we eat it.

15 With the help of Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice to him [MET] instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] that we have trusted in Christ [MTY].

28 So, let us thank God that we are becoming members of a kingdom that nothing can shake. Let us worship/serve God in a way that pleases him by being greatly in awe [DOU] before him.

13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing):

"We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne

and the one who is like a lamb,

May they reign with complete power forever!"

12 They said, "May it be so! We(exc) praise, thank, and honor you, our (exc) God, forever! We(exc) acknowledge that you are completely wise, the powerful one, who is forever able to accomplish everything he wants to. ◄May everyone acknowlege that it is so!/Amen!►"

17 They said:

Lord God, you are the Almighty One!

You are the one who exists now!

You are the one who has always existed!

We thank you that you have defeated by your power everyone who has rebelled against you,

and you now rule over everyone in the world.

7 Specifically, continue believing and practicing [MET, DOU] what you were first taught about Christ. Continue to do this more and more; continue to fIrmly believe all the true teaching, just like Epaphras taught it to you. And continue thanking God, our Father, very much for all that he has done for you.

23 God, whom my ancestors worshiped,

I thank you and I praise you,

because you have caused me to be wise and made me strong.

You have told me what my friends and I asked you to tell us;

and you have revealed to us what the king demanded to know."

7 Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him;

on the harps, play music to our God.

6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I ◄am innocent/have not done what was wrong►.

As I join with others marching around your altar,

7 we sing songs to thank you,

and we tell others the wonderful things that you have done.

5 Bring offerings of bread to thank me,

and other offerings that are not required/commanded,

and boast about these offerings that you bring,

because that is what you like to do,

but you do it to impress others, not to please me.

That is certainly true, because I, Yahweh, have said it.

3 Therefore, sir, we (exc) always gratefully acknowledge everything that you have done for all of us, wherever you have done those things.

9 But I will sing to thank you, and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will surely do what I have solemnly promised to do. Yahweh, you are the one who is able to save us."

9 But I will sing to thank you, and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will surely do what I have solemnly promised to do. Yahweh, you are the one who is able to save us."

9 But I will sing to thank you, and I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will surely do what I have solemnly promised to do. Yahweh, you are the one who is able to save us."

19 People will again sing joyfully to thank me,

and I will cause there to be more people in Jerusalem, not fewer;

I will cause them to be honored, not despised.

1 The first (OR, most important) thing that I urge you to tell your congregation is that Christians should continually ask God for what they need. They should also pray to God for all other people, and they should be thanking God.
