By nature we are inclined to complain to God rather than to praise Him. How can we learn to thank our Father, even when life brings unexpected hardships? Alistair Begg makes it clear that our motivation for being thankful should be rooted in truly knowing God’s character. When we understand that God is in control of all things and that He is gracious and faithful to us, we will begin to sing His praise all day long.
1jI will extol you, my God and kKing,
and bless your name forever and ever.
2Every day I will bless you
land praise your name forever and ever.
3mGreat is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his ngreatness is unsearchable.
4oOne generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
5On pthe glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6They shall speak of qthe might of your awesome deeds,
and I will declare your greatness.
7They shall pour forth the fame of your rabundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
8The Lord is sgracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9The Lord is tgood to all,
and his mercy is over all that he has made.
10uAll your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
and all your vsaints shall bless you!
11They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
and tell of your power,
12to wmake known to the children of man your2 xmighty deeds,
and ythe glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13zYour kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
[The Lord is faithful in all his words
and kind in all his works.]3
14The Lord aupholds all who are falling
and braises up all who are bowed down.
15The eyes of all clook to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
16You dopen your hand;
you esatisfy the desire of every living thing.
17The Lord is frighteous in all his ways
and gkind in all his works.
18The Lord is hnear to all who call on him,
to all who call on him iin truth.
19He jfulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also khears their cry and saves them.
20The Lord lpreserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
21My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and mlet all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
