The Bible says we are to bless God:

Deuteronomy 8:

7 "For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;....

10. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee."

I Chronicles 29: 20 "And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and the king."

Nehemiah 9:

5  "Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the Lord your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

6.  Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee." (And they remembered their landmarks.)

Psalm 68:26  "Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel."

Psalm 104:

1 "Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

33. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

35. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord."

Psalm 145

1. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever

3. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

God tells us to praise Him:

Hebrews 13:

15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Psalm 42:

4. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

5. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

Luke 18:

42. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

43. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, Glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Luke 19:

36.  And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

37. Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

God tells us we are to glorify Him.  May we do so through our praise:  Through our words and manner of living may we each tell Who God is, what He is doing in our lives, and what He has done in the past.

Psalm 50: 23 "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God."

Psalm 86:12 "I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore."
