In the Hebrew bible, the book we know as “Psalms” was called SEFER TEHILLIM, which means “the book of praises.”  Anyone who has read the book of Psalms knows how appropriate that name is.  The 150 individual psalms abound with praise and adoration to Jehovah.  The idea of praise directed to God is of course not limited to the book of Psalms.  Throughout the Bible we read of praise being ascribed to Him.
