Tosefta zu Dewarim 26:11
וְשָׂמַחְתָּ֣ בְכָל־הַטּ֗וֹב אֲשֶׁ֧ר נָֽתַן־לְךָ֛ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ וּלְבֵיתֶ֑ךָ אַתָּה֙ וְהַלֵּוִ֔י וְהַגֵּ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּקִרְבֶּֽךָ׃ (ס)
Und du sollst dich freuen über alles Gute, das der HERR, dein Gott, dir und deinem Haus gegeben hat, du und der Levit und der Fremde, der in deiner Mitte ist.
Tosefta Berakhot
Rebbi Meir says, “From where [do we know] that just like you have to bless [God] for good [things that happen to you], so too you have to bless [God] for bad [things that happen to you]? The Torah teaches us, ‘… that which Hashem, your God, has given you …’ (Deuteronomy 26:11). “Your God” [meaning] “your Judge”. For every judgment that He judges you, whether positively or negatively.”
