The prefix bi- means 'with/by means of' and it governs the noun it attaches to, putting it in the genitive instrument role: this names the tool of the praising, the praises used to praise. So bi- sets up an 'praise-by-means-of' relationship, linking the action to its instrument.

So I praise my Lord with the praises He taught me.
