Résumé
- A prayer of praise honors God for what he is like; thanksgiving thanks him for what he has done, and Psalm 100:4 joins the two.
- Twelve short prayers praise God for his love, creation, holiness, faithfulness, salvation, forgiveness, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, his word and his rule over all things, with one for days of weakness and one for the hope of heaven.
- Psalms 146–150 each begin and end with “Praise ye the LORD”; Psalm 150 and Psalm 103:1–5 are quoted in full from the King James Version.
- Traditional words of praise are quoted from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer (the Gloria Patri, the Sanctus, the Te Deum and the Gloria in excelsis), Hapgood’s 1906 Orthodox service book (the Trisagion) and the 1888 Catholic Manuel de prières (the Divine Praises).
- Hebrews 13:15 calls praise “the sacrifice of praise,” and Jesus said true worshippers worship “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23).
