praise

And the praise there was holy and wonderful.

And I magnified my Lord with praise, in that through His lot I should come hither.

And he raised me up into the sixth heaven, and there were no (angels) on the left, nor a throne in the midst, but all had one appearance and their (power of) praise was equal.

And (power) was given to me also, and I also praised along with them and that angel also, and our praise was like theirs.

And he said unto me: 'He who forbade thee, this is he who is over the praise-giving of the sixth heaven.

And after I had seen Him, all the righteous whom I had seen and also the angels whom I had seen came to Him. And Adam and Abel and Seth, and all the righteous first drew near and worshipped Him, and they all praised Him with one voice, and I myself also gave praise with them, and my giving of praise was as theirs.

And after I had seen Him, all the righteous whom I had seen and also the angels whom I had seen came to Him. And Adam and Abel and Seth, and all the righteous first drew near and worshipped Him, and they all praised Him with one voice, and I myself also gave praise with them, and my giving of praise was as theirs.

And then all the angels drew nigh and worshipped and gave praise.

And thereupon I heard the voices and the giving of praise, which I had heard in each of the six heavens, ascending and being heard there:

And I myself was hearing and beholding the praise (which was given) to Him.

And I saw when He descended into the fifth heaven, that in the fifth heaven He made Himself like unto the form of the angels there, and they did not praise Him (nor worship Him); for His form was like unto theirs.

And when they saw Him, they did not praise or laud Him; for His form was like unto their form.

And those who kept the gate of the (third) heaven demanded the password, and the Lord gave (it) to them in order that He should not be recognized. And when they saw Him, they did not praise or laud Him; for His form was like unto their form.

And I saw when He made Himself like unto the form of the angels in the second heaven, and they saw Him and they did not praise Him; for His form was like unto their form.

And again He descended into the firmament where dwelleth the ruler of this world, and He gave the password to those on the left, and His form was like theirs, and they did not praise Him there; but they were envying one another and fighting; for here there is a power of evil and envying about trifles.

But in all the heavens the praise increased (in volume).

O my son! when thou hast got thee a comrade or a friend, try him, and afterwards make him a comrade and a friend; and do not praise him without a trial; and do not spoil thy speech with a man who lacks wisdom.

And when the king saw him he sorrowed over him and rose at once and embraced him and kissed him, and wept over him and said: 'Praise be to God! who hath brought thee back to me.'

And Haiqar said to him, 'Yes, so it was, but praise be to God, who knoweth what is hidden, for my lord the king commanded me to be killed, and he believed the word of profligate men, but the Lord delivered me, and blessed is he who trusteth in Him.'

This is what happened and (what) we found about the tale of Haiqar, and praise be to God for ever. Amen, and peace.

After expressing his agreement with the reply, the king asked the next guest, how in giving audiences and passing judgments he could gain the praise even of those who failed to win their suit?

The king bestowed praise upon him and then asked another how he could maintain the truth?

The king bestowed praise on the man and said to another--'Since you are the tenth to answer, when you have spoken, we will devote ourselves to the banquet.' And then he put the question, how can I avoid doing anything unworthy of myself?

The king bestowed great praise upon him and asked the tenth, What is the highest form of glory?

And having accorded to him the same praise as to the rest, the king asked another, how he could attain freedom from fear?

Having bestowed praise upon him, the king asked the tenth, how he could recognize those who were dealing treacherously with him?

For in this way you will win your hearer, not by opposing him, but by bestowing praise upon him with a view to persuading him. And it is by the power of God that persuasion is accomplished.' 53 The king said that he had given a good answer, and asked another, how he could live amicably with the many different races who formed the population of his kingdom?

They bestowed warm praise upon Demetrius, too, and urged him to have the whole law transcribed and present a copy to their leaders.

For not only is the subject generally necessary as a branch of knowledge, but it includes the praise of the greatest of virtues, whereby I mean self-control.

I might enlarge here in praise of their virtues, they, the men with the Mother, dying on this day we celebrate for the love of moral beauty and goodness, but rather would I felicitate them on the honours they have attained.

This, certainly, is why we praise the virtuous Joseph, because by his Reason, with a mental effort, he checked the carnal impulse. [*1] For he, a young man at the age when physical desire is strong, by his Reason quenched the impulse of his passions.

But God will speedily pursue after thee; for thou cuttest out the tongue that sang songs of praise unto him.'

After this our passion, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob shall receive us, and all our forefathers shall praise us.'

And the praise of His name He gave us: our spirits praise His holy Spirit.

And the praise of His name He gave us: our spirits praise His holy Spirit.

And they shall praise the Lord for His love: because He is near and beholdeth.

For He hath given a mouth to His creation, to open the voice of the mouth towards Him, to praise Him:

And it became to me for the praise of the Most High, and of God my Father.

And the Most High hath given it to His words, which are the interpreters of His own beauty, and the repeaters of His praise, and the confessors of His counsel, and the heralds of His thought, and the chasteners of His servants.

And tell forth praise to His spirit: and wipe off the filth from your face: and love His holiness and clothe yourselves therewith:

And open to me the harp of thy Holy Spirit, that with all its notes I may praise thee, O Lord.

For I am made strong in His praise, and I have faith in Him.

My heart was lifted up in the love of the Most High and was enlarged: that I might praise Him for His name's sake.

And they spake truth from the inspiration which the Most High breathed into them; Praise and great comeliness to His name Hallelujah.

And thou shalt receive of His kindness and of His grace; and thou shalt be flourishing in truth in the praise of His holiness. Praise and honour be to His name. Hallelujah.

And thou shalt receive of His kindness and of His grace; and thou shalt be flourishing in truth in the praise of His holiness. Praise and honour be to His name. Hallelujah.

My heart ran over and was found in my mouth: and it arose upon my lips; and the exultation of the Lord increased on my face, and His praise likewise. Hallelujah.

I poured out praise to the Lord, for I am His:

I will cry unto him from my whole heart: I will praise and exalt Him with all my members.

For from the east and even to the west is His praise:

For according to His praise He made me, and according to His goodness even so He gave unto me:

And I gave praise to the Most High because He exalted me His servant and the son of His handmaid. Hallelujah.

He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy: and He spake a new song of praise to His name:

So my heart gushes out the praise of the Lord and my lips utter praise to Him, and my tongue His psalms.

So my heart gushes out the praise of the Lord and my lips utter praise to Him, and my tongue His psalms.

All the Lord's children will praise Him, and will collect the truth of His faith.
