This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew word "tehillah," its significance in biblical worship, and its connections to Greek terms that convey similar themes of praise and worship. Usage: The word "tehillah" appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, especially in the Psalms, where it is used to express praise and adoration towards God. It signifies both the act of praising and the content of the praise itself, often in the form of a hymn or song. Context: • Theological Significance: "Tehillah" is a central concept in the worship practices of ancient Israel. It reflects the community's response to God's mighty acts and character. The use of "tehillah" in the Psalms underscores the importance of vocal and communal expressions of worship. • Biblical Context: In the Hebrew Bible, "tehillah" is often associated with the Psalms, a collection of songs and prayers that form a significant part of Israel's liturgical tradition. For example, Psalm 22:3 states, "Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises (tehillah) of Israel." This highlights the belief that God is present and active in the midst of His people's worship. • Examples in Scripture: • Psalm 33:1: "Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous; befitting is the praise (tehillah) of the upright." • Psalm 40:3: "He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn (tehillah) of praise to our God." • Isaiah 61:3: "To grant those who mourn in Zion a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise (tehillah) instead of a spirit of despair." • Cultural and Liturgical Role: "Tehillah" played a vital role in the religious life of Israel, serving as a means of teaching, remembrance, and community identity. It was not only a personal expression but also a communal declaration of God's greatness and faithfulness.
