There are some great prayers in the OT, filled with much truth about God.
Nehemiah 9:6-8
You are the LORD, You alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and You preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships You. You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham. you found his heart faithful before You, and made with him the covenant to give to his offspring the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jubusite, and the Girgashite. And You have kept Your promise, for You are righteous.

Psalm 102:18-22
Let this be recorded for a generation to come,
so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:
that He looked down from His holy height;
from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to set free those who were doomed to die,
that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD,
and in Jerusalem His praise,
when peoples gather together,
and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.

It's good to remember the things God has done.
Psalm 9:1
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;
I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

Natalie I'm hijacking the thread today  Psalm 111 1 Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. In the congregation & company of the upright huh? Should we obey man who says we cant sing in church gatherings any longer!? 2 Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. Lord your creation shows me who you are! I long to know You more. 3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever.4 He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful. Those who have not remembered are destined for death 5 He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. Feed us today dear Lord as we seek You! 6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy; AMEN! Lord continue to show us your power and works 8 they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.9 He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name! You are awesome and Holy, we await the redemption of our bodies 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Amos 5:8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the Lord is His name;
God painted our sky in deep rainbow shades last night.

Psalm 104:1-4
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
O LORD my God, You are very great!
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
covering Yourself with light as with a garment,
stretching out the heavens like a tent.
He lays the beams of His chambers on the waters;
He makes the clouds His chariot;
He rides on the wings of the wind;
He makes His messengers winds,
His ministers a flaming fire.

Psalm 104:10-13
You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills;
they give drink to every beast of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
they sing among the branches.
From Your lofty abode You water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your work.

Psalm 104:19-24
He made the moon to mark the season;
the sun knows its time for setting.
You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forest creep about.
The you lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
When the sun rises, they steal away
and lie down in their dens.
Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until the evening.
O LORD, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom have You made them all;
the earth is full of Your creatures.

Psalm 104:31-35
May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD rejoice in His works,
who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke!
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to Him,
for I rejoice in the LORD.
Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more!
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
Praise the LORD!

Psalm 40:5 (NASB because I liked how this version sounded)
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done,
And Your thoughts toward us;
There is none to compare with You.
If I would declare and speak of them,
They would be too numerous to count.

Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Another song of David - this one was after the ark was brought to Jerusalem
1 Chronicles 16:8-13
Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name;
make known His deeds among the peoples!
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
tell of all His wondrous works!
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
Seek the LORD and His strength;
seek His presence continually!
Remember the wondrous works that He has done,
His miracles and the judgments He uttered,
O offspring of Israel His servant,
children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
