In a biblical context, extolling is often directed towards God, acknowledging His greatness, power, and majesty. It is an expression of worship and reverence, recognizing God's attributes and deeds.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage:</b> <br>The concept of extolling is prevalent throughout the Bible, particularly in the Psalms, where the psalmists frequently express their adoration and praise for God. Extolling is an integral part of worship, reflecting a heart that is in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty.<br><br><b>Key Scriptures:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/psalms/145.htm">Psalm 145:1-3</a> :</b> <br> "I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable."<br><br> · This passage highlights the psalmist's commitment to extolling God daily, emphasizing the eternal nature of God's greatness and the continuous act of praising Him.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/psalms/34.htm">Psalm 34:1-3</a> :</b> <br> "I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice. Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together."<br><br> · Here, extolling is portrayed as a communal activity, inviting others to join in the praise of God, recognizing His deliverance and faithfulness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/psalms/103.htm">Psalm 103:1-2</a> :</b> <br> "Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds."<br><br> · The psalmist calls upon his own soul to extol the Lord, reminding himself of God's benevolent acts and encouraging a posture of gratitude and worship.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Extolling God is a fundamental aspect of the believer's relationship with Him. It is an acknowledgment of His supreme authority and an expression of trust and dependence on His character and promises. Through extolling, believers align their hearts with God's will, fostering a deeper connection with Him.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b> <br>Incorporating extolling into daily life can transform a believer's perspective, shifting focus from earthly concerns to divine realities. It encourages a spirit of thankfulness and humility, recognizing God's hand in all circumstances. Worship services, personal prayer, and communal gatherings often include elements of extolling, reinforcing the importance of praise in the Christian faith.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> <br>Throughout history, the practice of extolling God has been central to Jewish and Christian worship. The Psalms, often referred to as the hymnbook of ancient Israel, provide numerous examples of how God's people have historically extolled Him through song, poetry, and prayer.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While extolling is a timeless practice, its expression can vary across cultures and traditions. Whether through music, spoken word, or silent meditation, the act of extolling remains a vital component of a vibrant and faithful Christian life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>p. pr. & vb. n.</I>) of Extol.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/7318.htm"><span class="l">7318. romam -- <b>extolling</b>, praise</span></a><br><b>...</b> 7317, 7318. romam. 7319 . <b>extolling</b>, praise.
