Psalm 148 Hallelujah! Praise God from heaven, praise him from the mountaintops; Praise him, all you his angels, praise him, all you his warriors, Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, you morning stars; Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds; Praise, oh let them praise the name of God — he spoke the word, and there they were! He set them in place from all time to eternity; He gave his orders, and that's it!
Praise God from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps; Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders; Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests; Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight; Earth's kings and all races, leaders and important people, Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children. Let them praise the name of God — it's the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky; He's built a monument — his very own people! from THE MESSAGE

Those who love God with all their hearts, find that His ways are ways of pleasantness, and all His paths are peace. Such joys, such delights, such overflowing blessednesses, do the saints discover in their Lord, so that far from serving Him from habit, they would follow Him from love. Charles Spurgeon Worship = to love someone with unquestioning admiration & respect
Praise = adoration, thanksgiving, fond appreciation; spoken or sung
Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33:1-6
