What is praise? First, praise is the vocal adoration of God. Adoration is the act of rendering divine honor, esteem, and love. The word adoration is derived from an ancient expression that meant “to apply the hand to the mouth,” or “to kiss the hand.” In certain countries a kiss of the hand is still a symbol of deep respect and submission.
