He praises God with thanksgiving May their table The "table" in ancient Hebrew culture was a symbol of fellowship, sustenance, and blessing. It was a place where families and communities gathered to share meals and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Seated at the banquet, amid every sign of peace, and every means of enjoyment, let their surroundings of security and pleasure become their snare and ruin. (Comp. 1Thessalonians 5:3. See St. Paul's citation, Romans 11:9, New Testament Commentary.)
