LAUD . In Romans 15:11 the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has ‘Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.’ The Gr. vbs. being different, two different Eng. vbs. are used. But the RV [Note: Revised Version.] turns ‘laud’ into ‘praise.’ In the OT, however, ‘laud’ and ‘praise’ are both used in order to distinguish two Heb. vbs., as in Psalms 117:1; Psalms 145:4 , though not quite consistently. In Psalms 147:12 the difference between the verbs is ignored.
