Praising God can be shown in many ways. Before I go into the methods, you can read The Importance of Praise to know more about why we have to praise God.

Psalm 9:1-2

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

Methods Of Praise

(1) Praise is one of the main elements in a congregational worship service.

(2) Both in the church worship setting and in other places, the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is a way to express praise to God (Ps 147:1; Ephesians 5:19-20).

1
Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
3
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods. - Psalm 96:1-4

Praise can be expressed with the mind of understanding or with the spirit.

(3) Musical praise can be expressed through various instruments, including horns and trumpets, wind instruments such as the flute, stringed instruments such as the harp and lyre and percussion instruments such as tambourines and cymbals.

(4) We can also communicate God's praise by telling others about His wonderful acts. For example, having experienced God's forgiveness, David was eager to tell others about what the Lord had done for him (Ps 51:12-13). Other Bible writers urge us to declare God's glory and praise in the congregation of God's people and among the natins. Peter calls on God's people to "declare the praise of him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light" (1Peter 2:9). In other words, mission work-bringing Christ's message to other nations and cultures-is a method of praising God.

(5) Finally, living for God's glory and honor is a way to praise the Lord. Jesus reminds us that if we let our "light" shine, people will see our good actions and give honor and praise to God (Mt 5:16). Paul observes that a life filled with the "fruit of righteousness"-godly character and actions that show love for God and what He says is right-praise God (Php 1:11).

Thanks for eading,
God bless you.
Shalom.
