What is praise and Worship?
Other people have crammed ever since that Praising is singing at high tempo
and dancing but worshiping is all about singing in low tempo, humbly and
crying!
Who initiated and ordered THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP?
If you had never known; then that is our survival purpose and the most
admirable mass by God!
WHAT DOES THE SCRIPTURES SAY ABOUT PRAISE AND
WORSHIP?
There are several ways the Bible has talked about praise and
worship, it has well explained what is it? why and how to go about it?
But in Psalm the Bible has given real songs.......
Psalm 18:1-3 (KJV)
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke
unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him
from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,> I
will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and
my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is
worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalm 24:1-10 (KJV)
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the
world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and
established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or
who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall
receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his
salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O
Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting
doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD
strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
Psalm 47:1-9 (KJV)
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O clap your hands, all
ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the LORD most high is
terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people
under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for
us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. God is gone up with a shout,
the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing
praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing
ye praises with understanding. God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon
the throne of his holiness. The princes of the people are gathered together,
even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto
God: he is greatly exalted.
Psalm 89:1-18 (KJV)
Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for
ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. For
I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou
establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have
sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I
Psalm 89:1-18 (KJV) cont’d
establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. And
the heavens
shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation
of the
saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? Who among the
sons
of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? God is greatly to be feared in
the
assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are
about him. O
LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy
faithfulness round
about thee? Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise,
thou
stillest them. Thou hast broken Rehab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou
hast scattered
thine enemies with thy strong arm. The heavens are thine, the earth also is
thine: as for
the world and the fullness thereof, thou hast founded them. The north and
the south
thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. Thou
hast a
mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and
judgment are the
habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Blessed
is the people
that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy
countenance. In
thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they
be exalted.
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall
be exalted. For
the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
Psalm 92:1-9 (KJV)
A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto
the LORD,
and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy loving kindness
in the
morning, and thy faithfulness every night, Upon an instrument of ten
strings, and upon
the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. For thou, LORD, hast made
me glad
through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O LORD, how
great are thy
works! and thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither
doth a fool
understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the
workers of
iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou,
LORD, art most
high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies
shall perish;
all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Psalm 93:1-5 (KJV)
The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with
strength,
wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it
cannot be moved.
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. The floods have
lifted up, O
LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
The LORD on
high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves
of the sea.
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for
ever.
Psalm 95:1-9 (KJV)
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of
our
salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a
joyful noise
unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above
all gods. In
his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his
also. The sea is
his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us
worship and bow
down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; and we are
the
people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his
voice,
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of
temptation in the
wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
Psalm 96:1-13 (KJV)
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. Sing
unto the
LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his
glory
among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the LORD is great, and
greatly
to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the
nations are idols:
but the LORD made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before him: strength
and
beauty are in his sanctuary. Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the
people, give unto
the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:
bring
an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the LORD in the beauty of
holiness:
fear before him, all the earth. Say among the heathen that the LORD
reigneth: the world
also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the
people
righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea
roar, and the
fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then
shall all the trees of
the wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the
earth: he
shall judge the world with righteousness and the people with his truth.
Psalm 113:1-6 (NKJV)
Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the
LORD!
Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore! From
the rising
of the sun to its going down The LORD's name is to be praised. The LORD is
high
above all nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the LORD our
God, Who
dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the
heavens and
in the earth?
Psalm 99:1-6 (NKJV)
The LORD reigns; Let the peoples tremble! He dwells between the cherubim;
Let the
earth be moved! The LORD is great in Zion, And He is high above all the
peoples. Let
them praise Your great and awesome name -- He is holy. The King's strength
also loves
justice; You have established equity; You have executed justice and
righteousness in
Jacob. Exalt the LORD our God, And worship at His footstool -- He is holy.
Moses and
Psalm 99:1-6 (NKJV) cont’d
Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called upon His
name; They called upon the LORD, and He answered them.
Psalm 104:1-9 (NKJV)
Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great: You are
clothed with honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with light as with a
garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of His
upper chambers in the waters, Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on
the wings of the wind, Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of
fire. You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved
forever, You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above
the mountains. At Your rebuke they fled; At the voice of Your thunder they
hastened away. They went up over the mountains; They went down into the
valleys, To the place which You founded for them. You have set a boundary that
they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth.
Psalm 145:1-13 (NKJV)
I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and
ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is
unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall
declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your
majesty, And on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your
awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of
Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness. The LORD is gracious
and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The LORD is good to
all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise
You, O LORD, And Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of
Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His
mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
I Timothy 1:17 (NKJV)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be
honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 4:8 (NKJV)
The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around
and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
Revelation 4:11 (NKJV)
"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You
created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."
