Zamar is one of 7 Hebrew words that we translate as “praise” in the English Bible. While they do mean “to praise God” or “give thanks to Him”, they all have a different emphasis.
“Zamar” refers to praising God with musical instruments or to praise God in song. It’s more than just our voices, there is a physical component to our worship as we play instruments.
Whether or not you consider yourself musical person, take some time to reflect on your worship to God. How can you engage with instruments in your worship, whether on the worship team or in your own personal worship? Or maybe this can help you appreciate musical worship on Sunday mornings a little bit more. And thank you to all the young adults who lead us in worship to God through serving on the worship team!
Check out a few of the verses that include Zamar below…
“That my soul may SING PRAISES to You and not be silent. Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.” Psalm‬ â€30‬:â€12‬
“PRAISE THE LORD IN SONG, for He has done glorious things; Let this be known throughout the earth.” Isaiah‬ â€12‬:â€5‬ â€
“God, I will sing a new song to You; On a harp of ten strings I will SING PRAISES to You” Psalm‬ â€144‬:â€9
