The Following is a list of scriptures which gives us insight and understanding into true biblical praise and worship

Why do we feel worship is a "spiritual experience" between us and God? Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship God in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers that God seeks. For God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)

Why do we clap our hands and shout to God? Oh Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy and triumph. (Psalm 47:1)After this I heard what sounded like a mighty shout of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God." (Revelation 19:1)

Why do we lift our hands? I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. (Psalms 63:4)Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD. (Psalms 134:2)I want people everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. (I Timothy 2:8)

Why are musical instruments a part of the worship service? Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise God with the harp and lyre, Praise Him with tambourine and dancing, praise God with the strings and flute, Praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise God with resounding cymbals. (Psalms 150:3-5)

Why do we lift banners in the presence of the Lord? We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. (Psalms 20:5)

Why do we sing in tongues and in English? For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. (1 Corinthians 14:14-15)

Sing to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:18-19)
