Thanks Living: Doing Good!

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High. Psalm 92:1

Good: be do better, cheer, be do, seem good, make goodly
Give thanks: literally, to use (i.e. hold out) the hand; physically, especially to revere or worship (with extended hands—the open one—indicating power, means, direction, etc.)
Sing praises: celebrate in song and music -- give praise, sing forth praises, psalms
Name: by implication honor, authority, character

It is good! What is "it"? Giving thanks and praising Almighty God!
