PSALM 136
1O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
3O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
4To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
....
26O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

THANKSGIVING This is further praise of God, but it is for specific things He has done for us and our fellow man. It can be general as in appreciation for the beauty of nature, a prosperous economy, or avoidance of disaster. It can be for someone we know who has overcome disease or been blessed in some way. Of course our blessings should always be gratefully appreciated. Some even thank God for their hardships because they know they have brought them closer to Him.
