7 Expressions of Praise

DAY 4 OF 7

Shabach (שָׁבַח) - To shout or declare boldly

“One generation shall praise (shabach) Your works to another and declare Your mighty acts” (Psalm 145:4).

Shabach means to shout or declare with a loud voice. It’s the sound of confidence, faith, and victory. It’s the kind of praise that breaks through fear and reminds your soul who’s in control.

Think of the walls of Jericho, the people didn’t whisper their praise; they shouted. That shout was more than noise—it was faith in action. Shabach reminds us that worship isn’t meant to be silent or private.

It’s a declaration that says, “God is faithful!”

Sometimes, your shout isn’t about volume—it’s about boldness. It’s about refusing to let what’s against you silence what’s within you.

Your voice carries power when it’s filled with faith.

PRAYER:

God, give me boldness to declare Your goodness in all seasons of my life. Let my praise be louder than my fears, and my faith stronger than my doubts. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

About this Plan

7 Expressions of Praise

These seven words—or postures of the heart—help remind us how and why we give God praise. They come from Hebrew words used throughout the Old Testament to describe different expressions of worship. They are some of the most powerful and descriptive, giving us a deeper understanding of what God means when He invites us to worship Him. As you go through each of these seven words this week, take time to be intentional—not just with your words or songs, but with the posture of your heart in worship.
