Psalm 103:1-5 calls the reader to bless God for his benefits, including forgiveness of sins, healing from diseases, redemption from destruction, blessing with kindness and mercy, and renewal. Ephesians 1:3-6 also praises God for blessing believers with spiritual blessings in Christ, including choosing them before creation to be holy, predestining them to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, and making them accepted in God's beloved son according to God's good pleasure and will.
