Praise (Carman)
Did you know that the Bible says there are 7 ways to praise God? Towdah, Yadah, Barouch, Shabach, Zamar, Halell and Tehilla. I'll let these lyrics from a song that a Christian Artist named Carman explain them.

Way back in the Bible, the Hebrew language says
That we were taught that we could praise the Lord in seven ways
Seven great expressions, seven different flows
Seven ways to worship God and this is how it goes.

Number one is towdah, it's the sacrifice.
Praising God inspite the fact that your world is in a vice.
It's praise that pushes through the wall of all adversity.
An offering that flows to heaven in our time of need.

Number two's yadah, that means to lift your hands.
In response to what the Lord has done through the land.
An outward sign of what's inside for all the world to see.
A demonstration of our love so come praise the Lord with me.

Number three is barouch, that simply means to bow.
In the awesome presence of the Lord and all His power.
To just be overwhelmed 'cause you hardly can believe.
That you've been given favor by His Holy Majesty.

This fourth one is shabach, it is what we call the shout.
It's praise that's given way before the answer comes about.
A public testimony that drowns out all the noise
Of whiners and complainers as the saints all lift their voice!

Number five is zamar, this one you'll like fore sure!
It's playing any instrument that glorifies the Lord.
Instruments that blast, instruments that strum
Instruments that keep the beat, so I'll praise Him on my drum.

Six we call halell, that means to rave and boast.
And praise the Lord in such a way that gets you on your toes.
It's beyond just clappin' hands!
But best of all, this is the one that makes you wanna dance!

Finally tehillah, seven is the best!
It's the one that is the combination of the rest.
It's singing and it's shouting, it's dancing and it's more!
It's wild, it's fun so everyone rejoice before the Lord!

Well there you go. Those are the 7 ways to praise the Lord! ^^
