The Hallelujah Psalms (146 to 150) All Begin and End with the Word Greetings, dear reader, in the Hallelujah Housed Name of JESUS! Hallelujah!! It's the one word which is the same in every language, meaning "Praise the Lord!". In the Hebrew, the Hallelujah psalms (146 to 150) all begin and end with the word "Hallelujah". Similarly we should start and end each day with thoughts and words of praise towards Our Creator. I cannot resist a personal story here. In my teens, I had plastic and metal "Meccano" sets, with a collection of motors and batteries, and made some interesting devices; by far the most useful device I ever made however, was ...well, I never gave a name to it, but I will call it my "Hallelujah Alarm Clock", or HAC. I had an old alarm clock which would vibrate strongly on ringing to wake me up in the morning. So I rigged a setup whereby when it rang, it would fall off a smooth metal ledge; in so doing it would pull a string, which would release the energy of a rubber band, which would pull another string which was coiled around the on/off button of an old record player, and turn it on. Handel's Messiah record would be in the player, and the needle of the record player would be set at the Hallelujah Chorus! Hence, during my final year at secondary school, I would wake up every morning to the sound of the Hallelujah Chorus. I like to think this partly explains why that year was one of the happiest of my life - I can testify that it is hard to have a bad day when you wake up to the sound of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus!! Maybe I should have patented the HAC! Seriously, though, it is good to start and finish a day praising the Lord, as David Himself observed in Psalm 92: 1: It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. (Psalm 92:1-2) Back to the Hallelujah Psalms; we will look at the first one, Psalm 146: 1: Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2: While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3: Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4: His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5: Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 6: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 7: Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: 8: The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: 9: The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 10: The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD (Psalm 146) 10 verses, and 10 reasons to say Hallelujah! 1. He made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is. (v6). 2. He keepeth truth for ever! (v6) 3. He executeth judgement for the oppressed! (v7) 4. He giveth food to the hungry (v7). 5. He looseth the prisoners (v7). 6. He opens the eyes of the blind (v8). 7. He raiseth up them that be bowed down (v8). 8. He loveth the righteous (v8) 9. He preserveth the strangers (v9) 10. He relieveth the fatherless and the widow, but eh way of the wicked He turneth upside down! (v9) Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth! Re:19:6: And 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: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. We look at the next Hallelujah Psalm, Psalm 147: 1: Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. 2: The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 3: He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 4: He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 5: Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 6: The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. 7: Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 8: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 9: He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 10: He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 11: The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 12: Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 13: For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. 14: He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 15: He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. 16: He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 17: He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 18: He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19: He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20: He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. 20 verses, and …you guessed it!…at least 20 reasons to praise the Lord: 1. It is good to sing praises unto Our God! (v1) 2. It is pleasant and comely! (v1) 3. He builds up Jerusalem (ie. us - His people), gathering together the outcasts! (v2) 4. He healeth the broken-hearted and bindeth up their wounds! (v3) 5. He tells the number of the stars; He calls them by all their names! (v4) Pause there a moment! Do you know that not only are there billions of stars in the sky, but that they are literally uncountable by humans? Scientists believe that even with perfect telescopes, we would be literally unable to see them all! Yet God not only knows their number, He has a name for each of them! Indeed, He knows the very number of hairs on your head also, which you can't count either! Continuing with the reasons to praise the Lord from Psalm 147: 6. He is Great, and of great power! (v5) 7. His understanding is infinite! (v5) 8. He lifteth up the meek! (v6) 9. He casteth the wicked down to the ground!(v6) 10. He covereth the heaven with clouds, prepares (from them) rain to fall upon the earth, and (hence) causes grass to grow upon the mountains! (v8) 11. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry! (v9) 12. He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, and He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man, but He taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy! (v10,11) 13. Homeowners: He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates! (v13) 14. Parents: He hath blessed thy children within thee! (v13) 15. He maketh peace in our borders! (v14) 16. He fills us with the finest of the wheat! (v14) Here in my country Barbados, we can praise God for the relative stability in our democratically elected Government, and for our relatively high standard of living. 17. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. (v15) Verses 16 & 17 are more for those in colder countries! (…He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?) To continue: 18. None can stand before His power! (v17) 19. Nature obeys His Word! (v18) The verse actually says that He sendeth out his word, and melteth the snow and the ice, He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. His Word is powerful! Notice that: 20. He has revealed His Word to His people! (v19). This powerful Word of God, that spoke the stars into being, is resident in its power by His Spirit within us, so that we too by the words we speak, by faith can call things into being things that are not. There is no better way to utilise this gift of faith He has given us, this gift of speaking things into being by our faith, than by praising Our Mighty Creator God with Our lips! Hallelujah! The next Hallelujah Psalm in the series is Psalm 148: 1: Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2: Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 3: Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

  • Psalm 149:1-9 the Saints Victorious Psalm 149 Picks
    Psalm 149:1-9 The Saints Victorious Psalm 149 picks up where Psalm 148 left off in praise to the Lord who “has raised up for his people a horn” (Ps 148:14). The psalmist develops the arc of salvation history from creation to judgment. The invitation to praise goes out to all the world and ends in judgment against the nations, peoples, kings, and nobles that refuse to praise the name of the Lord. Psalm 149 celebrates the triumph of all those who have put their trust in God’s redemptive love. These are the Lord’s faithful people, the saints, God’s holy ones (Ps 149:1, 5, 9), who “have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Heb 10:10). For today’s believer living between the Hallelujahs means living between the advents. The first advent was the coming of the Messiah, the Suffering Servant, who was “led like a lamb to the slaughter” (Isa 53:7). The second advent will be the return of the Messiah in victory. He is the one who is called “Faithful and True,” the “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Rev 19:11,16). Psalm 149 looks forward to the day of final judgment when the Lord will judge the nations with justice and righteousness. This eschatological psalm calls the saints to sing a new song today in anticipation of the Lord’s ultimate victory tomorrow. Psalm 149 celebrates the final judgment that will put all things right and put an end to evil once and for all.

  • Psalms of Praise: “Pesukei Dezimra ”
    Dr. Yael Ziegler Pardes The Psalms 1 Psalms of Praise: “Pesukei DeZimra” 1) Shabbat 118b אמר רבי יוסי: יהא חלקי מגומרי הלל בכל יום. איני? והאמר מר: הקורא הלל בכל יום - הרי זה מחרף ומגדף! - כי קאמרינן - בפסוקי דזמרא R. Yosi said: May my portion be with those who complete the Hallel every day. Is that so? Did not the master teach: “Whoever recites the Hallel every day, he is blaspheming and scoffing?” [R. Yosi explained:] When I said it, it was regarding Pesukei DeZimra. Rashi Shabbat 118b הרי זה מחרף ומגדף - שנביאים הראשונים תיקנו לומר בפרקים לשבח והודיה, כדאמרינן בערבי פסחים, )קיז, א(, וזה הקוראה תמיד בלא עתה - אינו אלא כמזמר שיר ומתלוצץ. He is blaspheming and scoffing – Because the first prophets establish to say those chapters as praise and thanks… and he who recites it daily not in its proper time is like one who sings a melody playfully. פסוקי דזמרא - שני מזמורים של הילולים הללו את ה' מן השמים הללו אל בקדשו .

  • Read Psalm 149: 1-3
    Praying the Psalms Janet Schaeffler, OP In her book Undercurrents (HarperSanFrancisco, 1995), Martha Manning says, “It’s incredible to me that we never learned the psalms as children. All that time and energy memorizing the catechism when the real thing was right here. It’s like memorizing TV Guide rather than watching the show.” A few years ago when I was serving on a task force for the US Bishops, one of the bishops mentioned that he met once a month with a small group of ministers in his area to reflect upon the Sunday readings. When this group first began meeting, he was startled because the others kept talking about the four Sunday readings. As Catholics, we tend to talk about the three readings. One of the things he learned from them, he said, was the deep importance of the Responsorial Psalm. Do we have a gift that we are unaware of? That we are ignoring? That we are not utilizing to its full potential? Saint Ambrose of Milan in the fourth century said: A psalm is a cry of happiness, the echo of gladness. It soothes the temper, lightens the burden of sorrow. It is a source of security by night, a lesson of wisdom by day. It is a shield when we are afraid, a celebration of holiness, a vision of serenity, a promise of peace and harmony. Day begins to the music of a psalm. Day closes to the echo of a psalm. More and more today we are being challenged to reclaim this great heritage in our tradition: the Book of Psalms.

  • Created to Worship by Norma Jewell & Eva Gibson
    KEEP CALM AND WORSHIP ON Colossians 3:16-17 ¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ¹⁷And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. What is Worship? “…our response to God… by our words and actions that He is worthy of our deepest love.” - Created to Worship by Norma Jewell & Eva Gibson “This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me; In vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” ~Matthew 15:8-9 What is Worship? The heart matters. Triple A: Affection | Attention | Admiration Ways of Worship - Dancing ¹⁴Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, ¹⁵while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sounds of trumpets. ~2 Samuel 6:14-15 ESV Ways of Worship - Prayer ⁵“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others…⁶But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father…⁹Pray then like this…Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” ~ Matthew 6:5-6 & 9 ESV & KJV Ways of Worship - Tithing “Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.

  • Seven Hebrew Words for Praise
    Seven Hebrew Words for Praise All expressions of praise have faith as their basis. When the Jews heard the words for praise they understood a lot more than we do today because they understood the meaning of it. YADAH – yaw-daw (Hands to God) The Hebrew word YADAH comes from two root words. YAD which means the open hand, direction, power. And AH which has reference to Jehovah. Together they are rendered Hands to God. It carries the meaning of absolute surrender as a child does to a parent – “pick me up, I’m all yours.” Scriptures: Genesis 29:35, 2 Chronicles 20:21, Psalm 42:9-11; 109:30, Isaiah 12:1 YADAH (3034)– to throw out hands; to worship with extended hands, Ps. 7:1, 9:1, 28:7, 33:2, 42:5, 44:8, 63:4, 100:4, 134:2, 141:2. The opposite is to wail, throw ones hands complaining. Our hands are an extension of our inward nature. Aggressiveness inside – hands hit people. It is an expression of a deep surrender to God and it is an extension of our hearts desiring to exalt Him. TOWDAH – toe-dah (Court of Law) TOWDAH (8426) – see thanksgiving. In the Old Testament, it translated as “Confession”. The New Testament translates it as “to say the same thing.” The word comes from Yadah and means to extend the hands. To declare openly, freely, unreservedly. Admit as real or true. The lifting of the hands signifies agreement. The ATTITUDE for TOWDAH is: I’m thanking God. I don’t care what it looks like.

  • The New Reform Temple of Berlin: Christian Music and Jewish Identity During the Haskalah
    THE NEW REFORM TEMPLE OF BERLIN: CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND JEWISH IDENTITY DURING THE HASKALAH Samuel Teeple A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2018 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2018 Samuel Teeple All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor During the first decades of the nineteenth century, Israel Jacobson (1768-1828) created a radically new service that drew upon forms of worship most commonly associated with the Protestant faith. After finding inspiration as a student in the ideas of the Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, Jacobson became committed to revitalizing and modernizing Judaism. Musically, Jacobson’s service was characterized by its use of songs modeled after Lutheran chorales that were sung by the congregation, organ accompaniment, choral singing, and the elimination of the traditional music of the synagogue, a custom that had developed over more than a millennium. The music of the service worked in conjunction with Protestant-style sermons, the use of both German and Hebrew, and the church- and salon-like environments in which Jacobson’s services were held. The music, liturgy, and ceremonial of this new mode of worship demonstrated an affinity with German Protestantism and bourgeois cultural values while also maintaining Judaism’s core beliefs and morals. In this thesis, I argue that Jacobson’s musical agenda enabled a new realization of German-Jewish identity among wealthy, acculturated Jews. Drawing upon contemporary reports, letters, musical collections, and similar sources, I place the music of Reform within its wider historical, political, and social context within the well-documented services at the Jacobstempel in Seesen and the New Reform Temple in Berlin.
