About “Praise God” in Hebrew

Halleluyah—'Praise God'—is one of the most universally recognized Hebrew words, used in Jewish, Christian, and secular contexts worldwide. It appears throughout the Book of Psalms, particularly in the Hallel psalms (113-118) recited on Jewish holidays. Leonard Cohen's famous song brought renewed global attention to the word, though its origins in ancient Temple worship stretch back over 3,000 years.

Example

הַלְּלוּיָהּ, יוֹם יָפֶה!
