What does the Bible say about praise in worship?

According to Psalm 65, praise waits for God in Zion, indicating that the essence of true worship is the heart's gratitude for salvation through Christ. Our ability to praise is rooted in being chosen by God and enabled by the Spirit to know the things He has freely given us. As we reflect on God’s character and His saving work, our praise becomes a response to His grace and sovereignty. Silence in worship often signifies our readiness to hear from God, acknowledging that our best words fall short in expressing His glory.
