Laud

LAUD [isbe]

LAUD - lod: A verb meaning "to praise," used in Rom 15:11 the King James Version, and Ps 117:1; 145:4. The Revised Version (British and American) either should have avoided the word altogether or else should have used it much more extensively--preferably the latter, as the word is not obsolete in liturgical English.
