What is Worship?

The word that is frequently used in the Old Testament for worship is the Hebrew word “shachah” (Gen
22:5) which literally means “to bow down, to depress, to prostrate oneself” and that is the best position
I believe that there is to worship God. As for the New Testament, the Geek word “proskyneo” (Matt
2:11) is used and this means to “kiss the hand towards the one, in token of reverence” and I believe that
both are completely appropriate. So to worship God is to bow down to the ground (prostrate) and lay
flat and to give a token of reverence (deep respect) for the glorious God.

Ano ang Pagsamba?

Ang salitang madalas na ginagamit sa Lumang Tipan para sa pagsamba ay ang salitang Hebreo "shachah"
(Gen 22: 5) na literal nanangangahulugan na "yumuyuko, magpahirap, magpatirapa" at iyon ang
pinakamahusay na posisyon na pinaniniwalaan ko na ay ang pagsamba sa Diyos. Tulad ng sa Bagong
Tipan, ang Geek na salitang "proskyneo" (Matt 2:11) ay ginagamit at nangangahulugan ito na "halikan
ang kamay patungo sa isa, sa tandang pagpipitagan" at naniniwala ako na ang parehong ay ganap na
angkop. Kaya ang pagsambasa Diyos ay yumuko sa lupa (mag patirapa) at mag-ipon at magbigay ng
isang tandang paggalang (matinding paggalang) para sa maluwalhating Diyos.

What is Praise?
The word that is often used for the word praise is “yadah” (Gen 29:35) which is Hebrew for “to throw,
shoot, cast, cast down” or “throw down” but sometimes the Hebrew “halal” (2 Chron 7:6) is used which
means “to shine, to flash forth light.” As for the New Testament usage of the word praise it is often
“epainon” (Eph 1:6) and means “commendation, approbation.” So to praise God is to throw down one
self, to cast down, and to shine or flash forth light, or to cast or throw words of worthiness to God. I
think that praise and worship are critical for the Christian and isn’t our God worthy of these? Here are
seven Bible verses that I hope can help you in praising our Great God and worship Him for He is most
worthy.

Ang salita na kadalasang ginagamit para sa salitang papuri ay "yadah" (Gen 29:35) na kung saan ay
Hebreo para sa "upang itapon, pag baril, palayasin, itambog" o "pagbagsak" ngunit kung minsan ang
Hebreong "halal" (2 Chron 7: 6) ay ginagamit na nangangahulugang "lumiwanag, lumiwanag sa liwanag."
Tungkol sa paggamit ng Bagong Tipan ng salitang papuri, kadalasan ito ay "epainon" (Efeso 1: 6) at
nangangahulugang "komendasyon, pagtanggap." Purihin ang Diyos upang ihagis ang isang sarili, ihagis,
at lumiwanag o lumiwanag ang liwanag, o ihagis o ihagis ang mga salitang pagiging karapat-dapat sa
Diyos. Sapalagay ko'y ang papuri at pagsamba ay kritikal para saKristiyano at hind iba ang ating Diyos ay
karapat-dapat sa mga ito? Narito ang pitong mga talata sa Bibliya na inaasahan kong makatutulong sa
iyo sa pagpuri sa ating Dakilang Diyos at pagsamba sa Kanya dahil Siya ay karapat-dapat.

Psalm 150:1-6 “Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise
him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet
sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings
and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!”

Has there been any greater writer of songs (or psalms) of praise than David? I don’t believe so. This
psalm shows that worshipping God in music is praising God. Notice that David includes various musical
instruments in his worship music.
Mayroon bang mas dakilang manunulat ng mga awit (o mgasalmo) ng papuri kay David? Hindi ako
naniniwala. Ipinakikita ng awit na ito na ang pagsamba sa Diyos sa musika ay pinupuri ang Diyos.
Pansinin na kasama ni David ang iba'ti bang instrument sa musika sa kanyang musika sa pagsamba.

Ephesians 5:19 “addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making
melody to the Lord with your heart.

When we address “one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” we are worshipping God.

Kapag tinutugunan natin ang "isa't isa sa mga awit at himno at espirituwal na mga awit" tayo ay
sumasambasaDiyos.

John 4:23 “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.”

Worship without truth does nothing for us and God rejects worship that is not done in truth. Truth
without the Spirit is a manmade worship so true worship must be in the Spirit and in truth. God is
seeking those who will worship Him in this manner.

Ang pagsamba nang walang katotohanan ay walang anuman parasa atin at tinatanggihan ng Diyos ang
pagsamba na hindi ginagawa sa katotohanan. Ang katotohanan na walang Espiritu ay isang pagsambang
tao upang ang tunay na pagsamba ay dapat na nasa Espiritu at sakatotohanan. Hinahanap ng Diyos ang
mga sumasamba sa Kanya sa ganitong paraan.

Conclusion
Praise and worship can be done in silence, in word, and in song and it is said that God inhabits the
praises of His people. That means that He is dwelling with or living in our praises and worshipping of
Him. A great way to rid yourself of depression, sadness, or when you’re having a dark night of the soul is
to start praising God and worshipping Him. It is hard to be sad or depressed when you are praising God
and the sadness and depression often seem to evaporate in the process. Use these verses to praise God
in both song and word and “Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor
of holiness” (Psalm 29:2).

Ang papuri at pagsamba ay maaaring gawin sa katahimikan, sasalita, at sa awit at sinasabi na

pinaninirahan ng Diyos ang mga nagpuring Kanyang mga tao. Nangangahulugan ito na Siya ay
naninirahan o naninirahan sa ating mga papuri at pagsambasa Kanya. Ang isang mahusay na para anu
pang mapupuksa ang iyong sariling depression, kalungkutan, o kapag nag kakaroon ka ng isang madilim
na gabing kaluluwa ay upang simula na ng pagpuri sa Diyos at pagsamba sa Kanya. Mahirap maging
malungkot o nalulungkot kapag pinupuri mo ang Diyos at kadalasang mukhang naglaho ang kalungkutan
at depresyon sa proseso. Gamitin ang mga talatang ito upang purihin ang Diyos sa parehong awit at
salita at "Ibigay sa Panginoon ang kaluwalhatiang dahil sa kanyang pangalan; sambahin ang Panginoon
sa karilagan ng kabanalan "(MgaAwit 29: 2).
