It showed excitement, worship, praise for good things, etc.Īfter awhile, it became a word for praising things and thankfulness. Basically, 'hallelujah' is a word from the bible, which some christians would use during religious worship to 'praise jesus and hallelujah!'. The word Hallelujah (or Alleluia), although used in the Psalms and Revelation, seems to have experienced significantly less use in more modern songs sung at church services.There's a lot of cultural reference in that. Īnd I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia (praise ye Jah!): for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth (Revelation 19:1, 3 - 4, 6, KJV). And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen Alleluia.
The word means, "praise ye Jah."Īnd after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God. In the KJV New Testament, the word Alleluia (Strong's #G239), found only in Revelation (Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6), is the Greek form of Hallelujah. Additionally, they were sung in synagogues and private gatherings. They were especially used in celebration of God's annual Feast days. Praise ye the Lord (Jehovah) from the heavens: praise him in the heights (Psalm 148:1, KJV).Īccording to the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, a group of eighteen Psalms, labeled the Hallelujah Psalms, was sung as hymns in the service of Jerusalem's temple. Praise the Lord (Jehovah), O my soul (Psalm 146:1, KJV). Two versions of God's name are also used in Psalm 148. Psalms 146 uses the shortened "jah" for God's name to form Hallelujah in its first and tenth verse, but also uses the full Hebrew word Jehovah as the basis of "jah" in its first verse. Psalm 104 - 106 was written by priests serving during King David's reign while the remaining ones were penned by David himself from 1010 to 970 B.C. This praise occurs once in seven Psalms, twice in five, and three times in three others (135, 146 and 148). Hallelujah is found in Psalms 104 - 106, 111 - 113, 115 - 117, 135, 146 - 150, or fifteen distinct Psalms for a total number of twenty-six occurrences.
