'Praise' in the Bible

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.
