It can also imply a sense of glorying in something or someone, typically in a positive and reverent manner.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, praise was a central component of worship and community life. The act of praising God was not only a personal expression of faith but also a communal activity that reinforced the identity and beliefs of the people. The Psalms, in particular, are rich with expressions of praise, reflecting the importance of acknowledging God's sovereignty, faithfulness, and acts of deliverance. The concept of boasting in the Lord, as opposed to human achievements, was a way to redirect honor and glory to God, emphasizing His role as the ultimate source of strength and victory.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/8438.htm">tola</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>teeth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fangs (2), jaw teeth (1), jaws (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cheek jaw tooth, jaw <p>Contr.
