Commentators explain that giving thanks isn't just a general feeling. It's a direct response to God's specific actions. The psalmist calls Israel to remember God's mighty deeds in their history, particularly their deliverance and their special covenant relationship. Our worship is deepened when we recall and declare the specific things God has done for His people.
