Psalm 148, Praise Him

Psalm 148:1-3, Hallelujah, Praise God!



Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!

Psalm 148:1-3

 

Halal is a primary Hebrew root word for praise. Our word "hallelujah" comes from this base word. It means "to be clear, to shine, to boast, show, to rave, celebrate, to be clamorously foolish."
(pronounced haw-lal’)

The Hebrew “Hallelujah” is generally translated “Praise the Lord!” The Hebrew term is more technically translated “Let us praise Yah,” the term “Yah” being a shortened form of “Yahweh,” the unique Israelite name for God, which is commonly written as "Hashem" which means 'the Name' since many Jews consider God's name too holy to be spoken.

The word "Hallelujah" is only found in Revelation 19, a chapter which marks the fall of Babylon and the return of the King of kings Who will reign forever and ever.

“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments.

Amen..
