Giving thanks can be hard to do, especially when life is not easy. Even in the most difficult of times we have blessings from God that can lead us to thanksgiving.  Psalms of thanksgiving remind us of what God has done so that we give thanks in every circumstance.

In this psalm, the circumstances of being mis-identified, mis-understood, and mis-judged are still occasions for giving thanks because of what the LORD does in purifying, posturing, and planting us.
