Seven Hebrew Words for Praise (Part 3)
3. yadah (yaw-daw’) – (verb)
to revere or worship with extended hands…
Psalm 109:30 - With my mouth I will greatly extol [yadah] the LORD;
in the great throng I will praise him.
The raising of hands is an age-old action of worship across many cultures.
We read of it often in the scriptures:
Nehemiah 8:2 - Ezra praised the LORD, the great God;
and all the people lifted their hands
and responded, "Amen! Amen!"
Then they bowed down
and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
Upraised hands are a sign of surrender:
“Lord, I submit to You… to Your Lordship, Your purposes and plans.
