In the Bible, extolling is an act of worship and reverence, acknowledging the greatness and majesty of the Lord. It is a response of the heart that recognizes God's sovereignty, power, and love.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage:</b><br><br>The word "extol" appears in various forms throughout the Scriptures, primarily in the Psalms, where the psalmists frequently express their adoration and praise for God. The act of extolling is not merely verbal but involves a deep-seated acknowledgment of God's supreme authority and benevolence.<br><br><b>Key Scriptures:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/psalms/30.htm">Psalm 30:1</a> :</b> "I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me." Here, the psalmist extols God for deliverance and protection, recognizing His intervention in times of trouble.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/psalms/145.htm">Psalm 145:1</a> :</b> "I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever." This verse highlights a commitment to continually extol God, emphasizing His eternal kingship and the perpetual nature of worship.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/psalms/34-3.htm">Psalm 34:3</a> :</b> "Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together." This call to communal worship underscores the collective aspect of extolling God, inviting others to join in the praise of His name.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>Extolling God is a fundamental aspect of Christian worship and theology. It reflects an understanding of God's character and His deeds. By extolling God, believers affirm His attributes such as holiness, righteousness, mercy, and love. It is an expression of faith and trust in God's providence and a recognition of His rightful place as the Creator and Sustainer of all things.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br><br>In the life of a believer, extolling God can take many forms, including prayer, song, and testimony. It is an integral part of both personal devotion and corporate worship. By extolling God, Christians are reminded of His faithfulness and are encouraged to live lives that reflect His glory.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b><br><br>In ancient Israel, extolling God was a central part of religious life. The Psalms, often referred to as the hymnbook of Israel, contain numerous examples of extolling God, reflecting the importance of praise in the spiritual life of the community. This tradition continues in the Christian church, where hymns and songs of praise are a vital component of worship services.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>While the entry does not include a formal conclusion, it is evident that extolling God is a timeless and essential practice for believers, rooted in Scripture and tradition. It serves as a powerful reminder of God's greatness and the believer's call to worship Him in spirit and truth.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</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 -- extolling, praise</span></a><br><b>...</b> be <b>extolled</b>.
