Most often translated “praise” or “give thanks” again carrying the idea that we confess our need for God and are thankful for His provision. And also to confess our sins. 

 Expressing worship by not acting but instead waiting on God. Not taking matters into our own hands but trusting God to act for our good and His glory.

Service, service of worship, I serve, especially God, perhaps simply: I worship. In scripture most often to serve or be a servant. Carries the idea that the one you willingly serve is the one you worship or how you worship. As in Romans 12:1 it points to the way you live as worship. Also expressing that serving as worship is also serving in the church and in other ways performing the regulations for worship. 

Important because the expression of worship must come from a desire of the heart as compelled by the Holy Spirit, to worship in spirit and in truth. If not then any expression of worship is not pleasing to God.
