Praise comes from the Latin pretium, "price", or "value" and may be generally defined as an ascripton of value or worth. When God is the object of praise, as He is in the Bible, there are several modes of praise demonstrated in Scripture.
I believe it is clear that the main mode of praise in Scripture is by ones mouth. Words that exalt God in speaking and also exalting God in word through singing. That is repeatedly demonstrated in the Bible. Shouting in the old time Pentecostal sense is nowhere in Scripture as a mode of praise.

I agree with all that you've said BUT the last sentence. A shout is a shout, whether from the lips of a Jew or a Pentecostal! I think you have issues with the stuff that surrounds the shouting and not the shout itself! LOL
