Psalm 148-150: Hallelujah!

LINK: Psalm 148-150

BACKGROUND


These are perfect Psalms of praise and thanksgiving for this time of year!


Psalm 146-160 all begin with "Praise the Lord" which is the English transliteration of the Hebrew word, halelû-yāh, which is derived from the Hebrew words, hālal, meaning "shine/praise," and yāh, which is a contracted form of Yahweh, the personal name of God and most frequent designation for Him in the Hebrew Scripture (5321 times). 


All creation and His people are exhorted to praise God! 


APPLICATION/PRAYER


Have a great time of praise through these psalms! The Americans among us could even read them as part of their Thanksgiving celebration!
