2dly, With reference to myself in particular.

I must give thanks that he has made me a reasonable creature, capable of knowing, loving, serving, and enjoying him, and that he hath not made me like the beasts that perish.

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that my soul, my nobler part, knows right well; Psalm 139:14(KJV) for no man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him. 1 Corinthians 2:11(KJV)

Thou hast made me of that rank of beings which is a little lower than the angels and is crowned with glory and honour; Psalm 8:5(KJV) for there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding, Job 32:8(KJV) and the spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord. Proverbs 20:27(KJV)

My body is capable of being the temple of the Holy Ghost, 1 Corinthians 6:19(KJV) and my soul of having the Spirit of God dwell in it; 1 Corinthians 3:16(KJV) I therefore glorify thee with my body and with my spirit, which are both thine. 1 Corinthians 6:20(KJV)

Thou, Lord, hast formed me for thyself, that I might shew forth thy praise. Isaiah 43:21(KJV)

Secondly, With reference to ourselves in particular.

We must give thanks that he has made us reasonable creatures, capable of knowing, loving, serving, and enjoying him, and that he has not made us like the beasts that perish.

We praise you, for we are fearfully and wonderfully made; and that our souls, our nobler part, know very well; Psalm 139:14(ESV) for no man knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him. 1 Corinthians 2:11(ESV)

You have made us of that rank of beings which is a little lower than the heavenly beings and is crowned with glory and honor; Psalm 8:5(ESV) for it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand; Job 32:8(ESV) and the spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD. Proverbs 20:27(ESV)

Our bodies are capable of being the temples of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19(ESV) and our souls of having the Spirit of God dwell in them; 1 Corinthians 3:16(ESV) we therefore glorify you with our bodies and with our spirits, which are both yours. 1 Corinthians 6:20(KJV)

You, Lord, have formed us for yourself, that we might declare your praise. Isaiah 43:21(ESV)
