What is Worship

What is worship? 

Is it singing praises to Father God and or His son Jesus, or perhaps listening to songs of praise and what are called songs of worship. In many respects singing songs of praise etc is encouraged as recorded  in the bible. :-        Psalm 22:2-3 :- 

O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 

There is much mentioned in the Psalms of Praising God too as it is also mentioned in other parts of the Old Testament and also in Ephesions 5:19. :-

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

 

In  considering worship to Father God and or His son Jesus, there are other forms of worship too, as in engaging in various activities within a church or fellowhip, as well as besides worshiping Father God as laid out in the Books of Exodus to Deuteronmy for the Israelites and later as encourged by the letters by the various authors one of which is in Pauls letter to the Ephesions as mentioned above  as well. 

Worship in Jesus time also  meant that a person would be obligated to bow low when religous leaders etc. past by in reverant respect etc.either verbally or non verbally  as well.

As one sees, woship is not just singing songs of praise etc. it is also showing respect and reverence or rather could be the way one goes about on a daily basis and interacting  with those close and dear to them and further afield, either through word or deed,  attitude and behaviour as Christians in reverence and respect to Father God and or His son Jesus and as Jesus mentions in Matthew 18:20: :- 

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

of which most probably during that time of gathering would be singing of songs of praise etc. as mentioned, and Paul required the Ephesions in his letter to them. 
Ephesians 5:19 :- 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

 

Note:-

There are quite a few sites that mention more about  what is Worship in relation to Praise etc. if one types in Google "What is Worship etc. and What is Praise and Worship "
