Common questions
How do you say give thanks in Spanish?+
"Den gracias." First Thessalonians 5:18 says it in three words: "Den gracias en todo", give thanks in everything.
What is a good Spanish Bible verse to read at Thanksgiving dinner?+
"Den gracias en todo" is short enough for everyone at the table to repeat after you, and the audio above teaches you to say it in seconds. For something fuller, read Psalm 9:1: "Te alabaré, oh Jehová, con todo mi corazón", I will praise You, O LORD, with all my heart.
How do you say grace before the meal itself?+
We made a whole page for that, with three table prayers read aloud: see How to Say Grace in Spanish.
