Strong's Lexicon shabach: To praise, to commend, to glorify Original Word: שָׁבַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G134: aineo (to praise) - G1867: epainos (praise, commendation) Usage: The Hebrew verb "shabach" primarily means to praise or commend. It is often used in the context of expressing admiration or approval, particularly in relation to God. The term conveys a sense of exuberant and vocal praise, often associated with public worship and declarations of God's greatness and mighty works. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, praise was an integral part of worship and community life. The act of praising God was not only a personal expression of faith but also a communal activity that reinforced the identity and beliefs of the Israelite people. "Shabach" reflects the tradition of vocal and public declarations of God's attributes and deeds, often accompanied by music and song. This form of praise was a way to pass down stories of God's faithfulness and power from generation to generation. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
