Does your Daily bread come by faith, hope and charity, or by force? Is the feast of your Passover filled with the leaven of the Pharisees.
Praise
The verb praise means an "express warm approval or admiration of." As a noun it has been defined, "the expression of approval or admiration for someone or something."
In the Bible there are a number of different words in the Hebrew and Greek that are all translated into the term "Praise".
Greek Doxa
In the Allocutio ad imperatorem Constantinum we see "Patír doxologeítai" (Patír doxologeítai) "The Father is praised"
The Greek term "doxa"[1] essentially means an "opinion" from the Greek word dokeo from the primary verb, doko meaning to think.[2]
Hebrew
The Hebrew term yâdâh 03034[3] according to Strong's may mean "literally to use (that is, hold out) the hand; physically to throw (a stone, an arrow) at or away; especially to revere". It is translates praise 53 times, give thanks 32 times, and confess 16 times but is defined "to throw, shoot, cast".
I think the Hebrew word yâdâh is about praise in the sense of confessing or putting out to others openly what we actually fundamentally believe.
We can see the use of the word confess in Romans 10: “9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
The Greek term homologeo also includes the idea of giving thanks.[4] as we saw with yada.[3]
True praise of God is to be willingly possed with the thought of God His opinion or Will of God and be8ng thankful. .
