Psalm 1 - 3

The book of Psalms, a hymnbook for the Hebrews, begins with the blessings on the one who follows and meditates on God's Word. Tucked into the 3rd psalm is the statement "I laid down, I slept, I rose again, God preserved me." (that's my paraphrase) How often is a good night's sleep taken for granted? Realize that David wrote that phrase while on the run from his son who was leading an insurrection, and you will have a greater appreciation for the thankfulness David is expressing.
