Happy are the simple of heart who follow G-d’s way.
Behold, ‘it was very good’ refers to the dispensation of happiness.
For to You it is fitting to give thanks, and unto Your Name it is proper to sing praises…
We thank You, Hashem…because You have given to our forefather as a heritage a desirable, good and spacious land…
Therefore, we are bound to thank, praise, laud, glorify, extol, honor, bless, exalt, and reverance Him Who performed for our fathers, and for us all these miracles.
You performed a miracle and a wonder for them, and we shall give thanks to Your great Name.
All will thank You and all will praise You…
It is good to give thanks to You and pleasant to sing praises to Your name…
When my cares are many…Your comforts delight my soul.
Great is the power of a thank you, and so Jonah says, ‘And I, in a voice of thanks, will sacrifice to you.’
