49 Thanksgiving Scriptures

Psalm 95:1-6

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

And the great King above all gods.
 In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
 The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.

 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

And into His courts with praise.
