at least in the more meditation orientated forest monasteries, words such as 'praise' or 'honor' are used, such as:

I chant my praise to the Blessed One, I bow my head to the Blessed One.
I chant my praise to this Teaching, I bow my head to this Truth
I chant my praise to this Sangha, I bow my head to this Sangha.

Amaravati Chanting Book however, our internet translator, Thanissaro, uses the word 'worship' (which is unusual for most who have practised in monasteries)

I worship most highly that Blessed One,
To that Blessed One I bow my head down.

I worship most highly that Dhamma,
To that Dhamma I bow my head down.

I worship most highly that Sangha,
To that Sangha I bow my head down.
