praise be

Glory to God

Praise be is an exclamation of gratitude or relief, typically directed toward God or a higher power: Praise be, the surgery went well.

It functions as a shortened form of "praise be to God." The phrase can also be used ironically or humorously to express exaggerated thankfulness for mundane outcomes: The meeting was canceled—praise be!
