Lord be praised
Glory to God
Lord be praised is an exclamation expressing gratitude, relief, or joy, typically invoking religious sentiment.
It functions as a spontaneous response to good news or a favorable outcome, similar to thank God or hallelujah.
Lord be praised, the surgery was successful.
Though rooted in Christian devotion, the phrase is often used casually by speakers regardless of religious belief, sometimes with mild irony when relief follows a frustrating wait or ordeal.
