Psalm 111:1 Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
2 Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.
This psalm serves as a great summary of many of the reasons we have seen for thanksgiving: His works, His righteousness, His faithfulness, His redemption, and more. What is noteworthy in this psalm (well worth the time to read the rest of the verses) is that there are no strings attached. The psalmist is not asking or pleading for something - just letting loose and praising God for Who He is and thanking Him for all He has done. There is a bonus at the end: when we take time to praise and thank God in this way, we will be living wisely in the fear of the Lord.
