I was reading the 23rd Psalm the other night and realized how much I can relate to it being a prayer of thanksgiving. I revised it a little bit, and I will say it as prayer on Thanksgiving. I thought you might like it.

[A remake of the Psalm of David.]

Thank you, Jesus, for everything.

For you truly are my shepherd, and all of my needs are met.

You have given me soft green fields to sleep in: You have lead me to still, peaceful lakes.

You have restored my soul to new. Any righteousness I have done is because You have guided me there.

Yes, even when I have been so close to death as to have been in its shadow, I had no fear of evil: for you, Jesus, have been with me; your word and your Spirit, they comfort me.

You have given me a feast in front of those who wish me harm: You have blessed me as though I am royalty; my cup is full and running over.

Most assuredly your goodness and mercy have been with me all the days of my life: and I look forward to living in the house of the LORD for ever. Thank you Jesus.
