Usage: • The verb שָׁבַח (shabach) is used in the context of speaking or addressing in a loud tone, often associated with praise or commendation. It can also imply the act of pacifying or calming through speech. Context: • The Hebrew verb שָׁבַח (shabach) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of addressing in a loud tone, often in the context of praise or commendation. This term is used to describe the act of vocally expressing admiration or approval, typically directed towards God. The act of praising God is a central theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, and שָׁבַח is one of the verbs that encapsulate this act of worship. • In the Psalms, שָׁבַח is frequently used to call the faithful to praise the Lord with a loud voice, emphasizing the communal and vocal nature of worship. For example, in Psalm 117:1 (BSB), "Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples!" the call to praise is a call to vocalize admiration and reverence. • The verb also carries the connotation of pacifying or calming, suggesting that the act of praise can bring peace and tranquility, both to the individual and the community. This dual aspect of שָׁבַח highlights the power of spoken words in both elevating the divine and soothing the human spirit.
