'Praise' in the Bible

And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.

And after a song of praise to God they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
