Laud (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

lôd : A verb meaning "to praise," used in Romans 15:11 the King James Version, and Psalm 117:1; Psalm 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.
