Bible Question: Can you recommend a good study book for Praise/Worship? Thanks, Maggie G |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... 2 Chr 29:28-29 (context chapter 29) ... If you select Quick Search and enter Praise Worship ... you'll see many posts. There is a difference between worship and praise. 2 Chr 29:28-29 While the whole assembly worshiped, the singers also sang and the trumpets sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 29 Now at the completion of the burnt offerings, the king and all who were present with him bowed down and worshiped. This chapter is one of my favorite of worship and praise ... they can happen at the same time by two different groups. Before you go read what someone else says, read what God says. Look up in a lexicon and other sources to see the many words used for both. I use an online tool at http://bible.crosswalk.com/. Decide if the translations do a good job or not. I have found the following ... The Hebrew word for worship is shachah. In Aramaic it is c@gid, pronounces segeed. Proskuneo is the word in Greek. They all have the idea of prostating, with knees and face on the ground, ones self before someone who has absolute rule over you. I also include the heart, as well as total focus on God. Praise is a celebration, can be many activities and continual. Worship is getting prostrate before our God and is a specific activity and is for a moment of time, though in Nehemiah 9:3, it lasted three hours. The only other activity in worship is saying something, as seen in Rev. 4:10-11, 7:10-11, 11:16-17, 19:4. Some the words for praise are: - Halal (to shine, to praise, boast, be boastful) is used 140 times, but only eight times in context with worship - T@hillah (praise, song or hymn of praise) is used in 1 Chronicles 16:35; Nehemiah 9:5; Psalm 22:3, 66:2, 8., in context of worship, of the 57 times it appears in the Bible. The root is halah. - Yadah (to throw, shoot, cast) has the idea of thanks, is used in 2 Chronicles 7:3, 6a; Psalm 99:3, in context of wor-ship. It is used 109 times outside the worship context. Its root is yad (hand). - Zamar (to sing, sing praise, make music) is used twice in context of worship (1 Chr. 16:9; Psa. 66:4), of the 41 times it appears in the Old Testament. There are several Greek words, too. But, only two are associated with worship. - Aineo (to praise, extol, to sing praises in honor to God or to allow, recommend or to promise or vow) is used once, of the nine times in context of worship (Rev. 19:5). The root word is ainos (praise, laudatory discourse) and it not used in context of worship. - Hallelujah (praise ye the Lord) is used in Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6. It comes from halal and Yahh. The latter is contraction for Yahweh. We better not confuse or fuse these differences or diffuse worship. After you study for yourself, then use a search engine to see what is available. Man has twisted these words to suit his own needs and that of the culture. Searcher |
