7 Expressions of Praise

DAY 5 OF 7

Barak (בָּרַךְ) - To kneel in reverence and honour

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel (barak) before the LORD our Maker.” (Psalm 95:6 NIV).

Barak means to kneel, to bless, or to show reverence. It’s quiet, humble worship, the kind that doesn’t need a mass audience. Its directed to an audience of one.

When you Barak, you’re not asking God for something; you’re recognizing who He is.

In a world that rushes and competes for attention, Barak invites you to slow down and bow low. It’s a reminder that true strength comes from humility. When you kneel before God, you rise above your circumstances and situations in your world.

This posture of worship reflects honor, gratitude, and surrender. It’s how you tell God, “You are greater. You are worthy of all my praise and attention.”

PRAYER:

Lord, today I bow before You and You alone. Teach me to live with humility and awe in Your presence. Let my life bless Your Name at all times and let your praise be continually on my lips. 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.
