Givest thanks. The synagogue prayers were called 'eulogies,' because to each was joined a thanksgiving. Hence, Christian prayers also were called blessings and givings of thanks. This illustrates Colossians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17. So the Qadiysh (H6922) and Qªduwshah, the synagogue formulae of 'hallowing' the divine 'name' and of prayer for the 'coming, of God's kingdom, answer to the Church's Lord's prayer, repeated often, and made the foundation on which the other prayers are built (Tertullian, 'De Orations').
