7 Ways to Praise God in Hebrew
by Tonja Taylor

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you [uncompromisingly] righteous [you upright in right standing with God]; for praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart].2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings. 3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound. 4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all His work is done in faithfulness.--Psalm 33:1-4, AMPC

The LORD accepts all true praise and worship; it must be from the heart, and only He can judge the heart.

Also, there are seven "categories" of praise and worship in Hebrew. I learned these from Carman (who is now in Heaven) and I'm so thankful. I was doing several of these before I knew what they were called.

Father God is such a good, good Daddy--we don't have to do everything "properly" for Him to receive our true adoration, infused with childlike trust in Him!

TODAH (TOE-dah) - To praise the LORD when things are the very hardest. (This has come in handy many times in my life, and is probably what we true Believers need more than any other kind!)

BARUCH (Bah-RUKE) - To bow to the LORD, and to bless Him.

YODAH (Yo-DAH) - To raise the hands to the LORD in worship.

ZAMAR (Zah-MAHR) - To praise the LORD on an instrument.

SHABACH (Sha-BACH) - To shout in victorious triumph to the LORD.

HALAL (Hah-LAHL) - To clap and sing loudly in praise to the LORD.

TEHILLAH (Ta-HEEL-ah) - To put all the facets of praise together (including dancing) and praise the LORD in high spirits.

Make sure you don't do these in front of people just to get attention, unless you're in a choreographed group worship dance or something. Of course people will be looking at you then. However, the purpose is not to get them to think how beautiful or anointed or whatever that you are, but to bring glory to Christ!

Most of these are best done in your private time with the LORD.

Another delightful point is that, when you praise and worship the LORD, the holy angels praise and worship with you!

Psalm 100--A Psalm of thanksgiving and for the thank offering.

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! 3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.--Psalm 100, AMPC
