In the following Shabad Guru Ji describes God's Praise as PRICELESS:

English Translation:
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent is Your Name.
False, false, false, false is pride in the world. ||1||Pause||
The glorious vision of Your slaves, O Infinite Lord, is wonderful and beauteous.
Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the whole world is just ashes. ||1||
Your Creative Power is marvellous, and Your Lotus Feet are admirable.
Your Praise is priceless, O True King. ||2||
God is the Support of the unsupported.
Meditate day and night on the Cherisher of the meek and humble. ||3||
God has been merciful to Nanak.
May I never forget God; He is my heart, my soul, my breath of life. ||4||10||

Give up cleverness, let Him support your Mind, and obtain the rapture and the vision of his servants.

All other clever tricks are useless, O Beloved; You alone are my Protector. ||1||Pause||

One who meets with the Perfect True Guru, O Beloved, that humble person is
enraptured.

He alone serves the Guru, O Beloved, unto whom the Lord becomes merciful.

Fruitful is the form of the Divine Guru, O Lord and Master; He is overflowing with all powers.
