“Seven Ways to Praise the Lord”


1. Towdah-
This is the sacrifice of praise.  Praising the Lord in spite of the fact that things are upside down in your world.  Praising the Lord, even if you don’t feel like praising the Lord.  Praising the Lord even though you are going through many trials in your life.  This is your sacrifice to God.
Hebrews 13:15
Jeremiah 33:11
Psalm 54:6

2. Yadah-
This is the demonstration of our love and submission to the Lord by the raising of our hands.  Lifting your hands to the Lord in total submission and devotion.
Lamentations 3:41
Psalm 63:4
Psalm 134:2

3. Barough-
This means to bow. To be completely overwhelmed by His majesty and bow at His feet in submission and honor to the Lord.
Ephesians 3:13-14
Romans 14:11
Psalm 95:6

4. Shabach-
This means to shout.  Praise to the Lord given in the form of a shout.  Lifting your voice unto the Lord, giving praise for what He has done and what He is going to do.
Psalm 98:7
Ezra 3:11
Isaiah 12:6

5. Zamar-
Playing any instrument that glorifies the Lord.
Psalm 150

6. Halell-
This means to rave and boast of the wonders of the Lord with excitement through dance.
Psalm 149:3
2 Samuel 6:16
Psalm 30:11

7. Tehillah-
This one is the best.  It is the combination of singing, shouting, dancing, clapping and rejoicing before the Lord.
