1. HALLAL

is a primary Hebrew root word for praise. Our word "hallelujah" comes from this base word. It means "to be clear, to praise, to shine, to boast, show, to rave, celebrate, to be clamorously foolish."

is a verb with a root meaning, “the extended hand, to throw out the hand, therefore to worship with extended hand, to lift the hands. ”According to the Lexicon, the opposite meaning is “to bemoan, the wringing of the hands.”

comes from the same principle root word as yadah, but is used more specifically. Towdah literally means, “an extension of the hand in adoration, avowal, or acceptance.” By way of application, it is apparent in the Psalms and elsewhere that it is used for thanking God for “things not yet received” as well as things already at hand.

4. SHABACH

means, “to shout, to address in a loud tone, to command, to triumph.”

means “to kneel down, to bless God as an act of adoration, to salute.”

means “to pluck the strings of an instrument, to sing, to praise; a musical word which is largely involved with joyful expressions of music with musical instruments.

is derived from the word halal and means "the singing of halals, to sing or to laud; perceived to involve music, especially singing; hymns of the Spirit or praise.”
