Psalms, “Hallelujah”

THE HALLELUJAH PSALMS

Twelve “Hallelujah” psalms: ie psalms beginning and ending with “Praise Yahweh”:

• 104: Double-“Hallelujah” psalms.
• 105: Borrowing the second “Hallelujah” from end of Psa 104 (which leaves 104 beginning and ending with “Bless the Lord, O my soul”).
• 106: Double “Hallelujah”.
• 111: Has double “Hallelujah” by borrowing a “Hallelujah” from beginning of 112. (This is appropriate, since 111 is about the character of God, while 112 is about the character of a man.)
• 116: Has double “Hallelujah” by borrowing a “Hallelujah” from end of 115. (There is no superscription to mark the proper point of division.)
• 117: Double “Hallelujah”: The divine name appears in full: “Hallelu (eth) Y’howah”.
• 135/146/147/148/149/150: Six more double-“Hallelujah” psalms.
