In the biblical context, thanksgiving is a central theme, often associated with worship and sacrifice (<a href="/leviticus/7-12.htm">Leviticus 7:12-15</a>). The act of raising one's voice signifies a public declaration, reflecting the communal aspect of worship in ancient Israel. Thanksgiving was not only a personal expression but also a corporate one, as seen in the Psalms and the practices of the Israelites during festivals like Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. This phrase also connects to the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to give thanks in all circumstances (<a href="/1_thessalonians/5-18.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:18</a>), highlighting a continuity in the practice of gratitude across both covenants.<p><b>and declare all Your wonderful works</b><br>This part of the verse focuses on proclaiming the deeds of God, which are often described as "wonderful" or "marvelous" throughout Scripture. The term "wonderful works" can refer to God's creation, His acts of deliverance, and His ongoing providence. In the Old Testament, recounting God's works was a way to remember His faithfulness, as seen in the retelling of the Exodus (<a href="/exodus/15.htm">Exodus 15:1-21</a>) and the conquest of Canaan. This declaration serves as a testimony to others, reinforcing the community's faith and trust in God. In the New Testament, the works of Jesus Christ, including His miracles and resurrection, are seen as the ultimate demonstration of God's wonderful works, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies and revealing God's redemptive plan (<a href="/acts/2-22.htm">Acts 2:22-24</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/26.htm">Psalm 26</a>, David is expressing his desire to worship God with a pure heart.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_worship.htm">Temple Worship</a></b><br>The context of the psalm suggests a setting of worship, likely in the tabernacle or temple, where public declarations of God's works were made.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_wonderful_works.htm">God's Wonderful Works</a></b><br>Refers to the acts of God in creation, providence, and redemption that are worthy of praise and thanksgiving.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_thanksgiving.htm">The Importance of Thanksgiving</a></b><br>Thanksgiving is not just a feeling but an action.
