<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> LAUD </strong> . In Romans 15:11 the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has ‘Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.’ The Gr. vbs. being different, two different Eng. vbs. are used. But the RV [Note: Revised Version.] turns ‘laud’ into ‘praise.’ In the OT, however, ‘laud’ and ‘praise’ are both used in order to distinguish two Heb. vbs., as in Psalms 117:1; Psalms 145:4 , though not quite consistently. In Psalms 147:12 the difference between the verbs is ignored. </p> | ||

<p> ''''' lôd ''''' : | <p> ''''' lôd ''''' : A verb meaning "to praise," used in Romans 15:11 the King James Version, and Psalm 117:1; Psalm 145:4 . The Revised Version (British and American) either should have avoided the word altogether or else should have used it much more extensively - preferably the latter, as the word is not obsolete in liturgical English. </p> | ||
