I'm not sure if there is a canonical tex for this prayer. Anyway, here is a possible translation.

Господи,
Благодарю тебя за еду, стоящую сегодня на столе.
Благодарю тебя за то, что ты дал мне замечательную семью и хороших друзей.
Благодарю тебя за то, что ты дал мне счастливую жизнь.
Аминь

Would not it be better to say "вы дали" instead of "ты дал"?

Russian orthodox (at least) tradition used to use "ты" instead of "Вы" in prayers. That's OK.

As far as I know "Вы" was not used as the polite form of "ты" before the times of Peter the Great. So one could say "ты" even to Ivan The Terrible.

People often use "Вы" in polite business life even nowadays.

That's right. In fact, it's the only way to address God. It's never "Вы", always "ты", don't ask me why.
