Laudable

laudable \LAW-duh-bul\, adjective:
Worthy of praise; commendable.

"Her attempts to get her colleagues to knit jumpers for orphans were laudable."

There is also laud which can be a noun or a verb.

"We should laud her attempts to get her colleagues to knit jumpers for orphans."

And for completeness, here is an example of the eccleisiastical lauds.

"Father Jack was late for lauds because he had dropped a couple of stitches on one of the jumpers he was knitting for the orphans."

Definitely not: yes, m'laud.
