Hod (Omer)

לְךָ֣ יקוק הַגְּדֻלָּ֨ה וְהַגְּבוּרָ֤ה וְהַתִּפְאֶ֙רֶת֙ וְהַנֵּ֣צַח וְהַה֔וֹד כִּי־כֹ֖ל בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם וּבָאָ֑רֶץ לְךָ֤ יקוק הַמַּמְלָכָ֔ה וְהַמִּתְנַשֵּׂ֖א לְכֹ֥ל ׀ לְרֹֽאשׁ׃

I Chronicles 29:11

Yours, LORD, are greatness, might, splendor, triumph, and majesty—yes, all that is in heaven and on earth; to You, LORD, belong kingship and preeminence above all.

Netzach and Hod really do stand together - pun intended - as they represent the two feet/legs of the Tree of Life. Whereas Netzach is Ambition, Success and Endurance over time, Hod is Humility, Gratitude and taking space to appreciate where one is. In Pirkei Avot, Ben Zoma says "Who is wealthy (ashir)? One who is sameach b'chelko - happy with their portion." In order to be truly happy with where we are, we have to alleviate ourselves from the mindset of "more." Netzach keeps us in pursuit of achievement and growth, while Hod insists on "dayeinu" - we have enough.

משנה אבות ו׳:ה׳

אַל תְּבַקֵּשׁ גְּדֻלָּה לְעַצְמְךָ, וְאַל תַּחְמֹד כָּבוֹד, יוֹתֵר מִלִּמּוּדְךָ עֲשֵׂה, וְאַל תִּתְאַוֶּה לְשֻׁלְחָנָם שֶׁל מְלָכִים, שֶׁשֻּׁלְחָנְךָ גָדוֹל מִשֻּׁלְחָנָם, וְכִתְרְךָ גָדוֹל מִכִּתְרָם, וְנֶאֱמָן הוּא בַּעַל מְלַאכְתְּךָ שֶׁיְּשַׁלֵּם לְךָ שְׂכַר פְּעֻלָּתֶךָ:

Pirkei Avot 6:5

Do not seek greatness for yourself, and do not covet honor. Practice more than you learn. Do not yearn for the table of kings, for your table is greater than their table, and your crown is greater than their crown, and faithful is your employer to pay you the reward of your labor.

Rav Shagar wrote about the paradox of humility: “If [the anav] is a refined person who is fully aware of his refinement and his superiority over others, but nevertheless belittles himself and silently accepts scorn and derision, then he is nothing but a hypocrite. After all, he really thinks that he has greater refinement than other people and values his refinement. Thus, inside, in his thoughts, he is arrogant... but if he is not cognizant of his greater refinement than other people and is truly an anav-then he is a fool who does not recognize his own greatness. Moreover, if he is oblivious to his greatness, so what if he is humble?”
I was taught once that Humility is not thinking of less of oneself, but rather, thinking of oneself less.
This is why "Thank you" is at the core of humility. It is recognition of the other, and the role of the other in our own success, wellbeing and greatness. Perhaps the most prominent object of our gratitude is God.

משנה אבות ג׳:ז׳

רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אִישׁ בַּרְתּוֹתָא אוֹמֵר, תֶּן לוֹ מִשֶּׁלּוֹ, שֶׁאַתָּה וְשֶׁלְּךָ שֶׁלּוֹ. וְכֵן בְּדָוִד הוּא אוֹמֵר (דברי הימים א כט) כִּי מִמְּךָ הַכֹּל וּמִיָּדְךָ נָתַנּוּ לָךְ.

Pirkei Avot 3:7

Rabbi Elazar of Bartotha said: give to Him of that which is His, for you and that which is yours is His; and thus it says with regards to David: “for everything comes from You, and from Your own hand have we given you” (I Chronicles 29:14).

What are the ways you express gratitude?

ויקרא רבה ט׳:ז׳

רַבִּי פִּנְחָס וְרַבִּי לֵוִי וְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בְּשֵׁם רַבִּי מְנַחֵם דְּגַלְיָא, לֶעָתִיד לָבוֹא כָּל הַקָּרְבָּנוֹת בְּטֵלִין וְקָרְבַּן תּוֹדָה אֵינוֹ בָּטֵל, כָּל הַתְּפִלּוֹת בְּטֵלוֹת, הַהוֹדָאָה אֵינָהּ בְּטֵלָה, הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב (ירמיה לג, יא): קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה קוֹל חָתָן וְקוֹל כַּלָּה קוֹל אֹמְרִים הוֹדוּ אֶת יקוק צְבָאוֹת וגו', זוֹ הוֹדָאָה, (ירמיה לג, יא): מְבִאִים תּוֹדָה בֵּית יקוק, זֶה קָרְבַּן תּוֹדָה. וְכֵן דָּוִד אוֹמֵר (תהלים נו, יג): עָלַי אֱלֹקִים נְדָרֶיךָ אֲשַׁלֵּם תּוֹדֹת לָךְ, תּוֹדָה אֵין כְּתִיב כָּאן אֶלָּא תּוֹדֹת, הַהוֹדָאָה וְקָרְבַּן תּוֹדָה.

Vayikra Rabbah 9:7

Rabbi Pinchas, Rabbi Levi and Rabbi Yochanan [said] in the name of Rabbi Menachem from Gallia: In the time to come, all sacrifices will be annulled - but the sacrifice of thanksgiving will not be annulled. All prayers will be annulled, but the prayer of gratitude will not be annulled. This accords with what is written [Jeremiah 33:11]: "The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say 'Give thanks to the LORD of hosts' etc." - this is the prayer of gratitude. "Those who bring [the sacrifice of] thanksgiving to the House of the LORD": this is the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Thus David said: "I owe You vows and will offer you thanksgivings" [Psalms 56:13] - not "thanksgiving," but "thanksgivings," [indicating both] the thanksgiving prayer and the prayer of gratitude.

תהילים ק׳:א׳

מִזְמ֥וֹר לְתוֹדָ֑ה הָרִ֥יעוּ לַ֝יקוק כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

עִבְד֣וּ אֶת־יקוק בְּשִׂמְחָ֑ה בֹּ֥אוּ לְ֝פָנָ֗יו בִּרְנָנָֽה׃

Psalms 100:1

A psalm for Gratitude
Raise a shout for the LORD, all the earth;

worship the LORD in gladness;
come into His presence with shouts of joy.

ליקוטי מוהר"ן, תנינא פ״א:א׳:א׳

כְּשֶׁאָדָם מְשַׂמֵּחַ עַצְמוֹ בְּשִׂמְחָה שֶׁל מִצְוָה, וְהַשִּׂמְחָה גְּדוֹלָה כָּל־כָּךְ, עַד שֶׁנּוֹגַעַת עַד רַגְלָיו, הַיְנוּ שֶׁמְּרַקֵּד מֵחֲמַת שִׂמְחָה, זֶה הַבְּחִינָה נִקְרָא: וְנָבִיא לְבַב חָכְמָה (תהילים צ׳:י״ב). הָרַגְלַיִם הֵם נֶצַח וָהוֹד, בְּחִינַת נְבִיאִים, נִתְעַלִּים לִבְחִינַת לֵב עַל־יְדֵי הַשִּׂמְחָה שֶׁבַּלֵּב, כִּי הַשִּׂמְחָה מַעֲלָה אוֹתָם. וְזֶהוּ הָרִקּוּד שֶׁמַּעֲלֶה רַגְלָיו בְּכָל פַּעַם.

Likutei Moharan, Part II 81:1:1

When a person cheers himself with the joy of mitzvah, and the joy is so great that it reaches down to his feet—i.e., he dances for joy—this concept is called “and a prophet to a heart of wisdom” (Psalms 90:12). The feet are Netzach and Hod, the concept of prophets. They ascend to the concept of the heart through the joy in the heart, because the joy elevates them. This is the dance—that he keeps picking up his feet.

Three ways we can express gratitude:
An offering - of a gift or of words.
Joyful song
Dance.
