# Samuel Davies on How to Express Thanks to God

“As to family praise, it is a duty, because thanksgiving is so often joined with prayer in Scripture... and psalmody must be owned the most proper method of expressing thankfulness by such as own it a part of divine worship.” — [**Samuel Davies**](/authors/samuel-davies), “The Necessity and Excellence of Family Religion” in *Sermons on Important Subjects*, Vol. 2 (1811), p. 51
