Hallel
(א) הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַ֭לְלוּ עַבְדֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַֽ֝לְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃ (ב) יְהִ֤י שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֣ה מְבֹרָ֑ךְ מֵֽ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ (ג) מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ עַד־מְבוֹא֑וֹ מְ֝הֻלָּ֗ל שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָֽה׃ (ד) רָ֖ם עַל־כָּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם ׀ יְהוָ֑ה עַ֖ל הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃ (ה) מִ֭י כַּיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ הַֽמַּגְבִּיהִ֥י לָשָֽׁבֶת׃ (ו) הַֽמַּשְׁפִּילִ֥י לִרְא֑וֹת בַּשָּׁמַ֥יִם וּבָאָֽרֶץ׃ (ז) מְקִֽימִ֣י מֵעָפָ֣ר דָּ֑ל מֵֽ֝אַשְׁפֹּ֗ת יָרִ֥ים אֶבְיֽוֹן׃ (ח) לְהוֹשִׁיבִ֥י עִם־נְדִיבִ֑ים עִ֝֗ם נְדִיבֵ֥י עַמּֽוֹ׃ (ט) מֽוֹשִׁיבִ֨י ׀ עֲקֶ֬רֶת הַבַּ֗יִת אֵֽם־הַבָּנִ֥ים שְׂמֵחָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
(1) Hallelujah. O servants of the LORD, give praise; praise the name of the LORD. (2) Let the name of the LORD be blessed now and forever. (3) From east to west the name of the LORD is praised. (4) The LORD is exalted above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. (5) Who is like the LORD our God, who, enthroned on high, (6) sees what is below, in heaven and on earth? (7) He raises the poor from the dust, lifts up the needy from the refuse heap (8) to set them with the great, with the great men of His people. (9) He sets the childless woman among her household as a happy mother of children. Hallelujah.

Hashem's throne is so far above what is discernible to man of the heavens and Earth that the poor and needy are in no way low. Their existence of the Earth are of equivalence in stature and importance to anyone whose reputation or renown extends to 'the heavens'.

(א) בְּצֵ֣את יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם בֵּ֥ית יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב מֵעַ֥ם לֹעֵֽז׃ (ב) הָיְתָ֣ה יְהוּדָ֣ה לְקָדְשׁ֑וֹ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל מַמְשְׁלוֹתָֽיו׃ (ג) הַיָּ֣ם רָ֭אָה וַיָּנֹ֑ס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן יִסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֽוֹר׃ (ד) הֶֽ֭הָרִים רָקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָע֗וֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃ (ה) מַה־לְּךָ֣ הַ֭יָּם כִּ֣י תָנ֑וּס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן תִּסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֽוֹר׃ (ו) הֶֽ֭הָרִים תִּרְקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָע֗וֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃ (ז) מִלִּפְנֵ֣י אָ֭דוֹן ח֣וּלִי אָ֑רֶץ מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֱל֣וֹהַּ יַעֲקֹֽב׃ (ח) הַהֹפְכִ֣י הַצּ֣וּר אֲגַם־מָ֑יִם חַ֝לָּמִ֗ישׁ לְמַעְיְנוֹ־מָֽיִם׃
(1) When Israel went forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech, (2) Judah became His -holy one, Israel, His dominion. (3) The sea saw them and fled, Jordan ran backward, (4) mountains skipped like rams, hills like sheep. (5) What alarmed you, O sea, that you fled, Jordan, that you ran backward, (6) mountains, that you skipped like rams, hills, like sheep? (7) Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, (8) who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flinty rock into a fountain.

1) The speech of Israel is what makes All Israel holy. The transformation of speech is akin to the transformation of Jacob to Israel, and likewise from Egypt where we were slaves to a people and culture of strange speech to free people bound to the mitzvot of The Almighty.

2)Small miracles in the desert are of equivalent in holiness to the whole of Earth moving from Hashem's presence. This relates to the concept of any performance of a mitzvah able to change a whole world.

(1) Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to Your name bring glory for the sake of Your love and Your faithfulness. (2) Let the nations not say, “Where, now, is their God?” (3) when our God is in heaven and all that He wills He accomplishes. (4) Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. (5) They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see; (6) they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell; (7) they have hands, but cannot touch, feet, but cannot walk; they can make no sound in their throats. (8) Those who fashion them, all who trust in them, shall become like them. (9) O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. (10) O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. (11) O you who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. (12) The LORD is mindful of us. He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron; (13) He will bless those who fear the LORD, small and great alike. (14) May the LORD increase your numbers, yours and your children’s also. (15) May you be blessed by the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth. (16) The heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He gave over to man. (17) The dead cannot praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence. (18) But we will bless the LORD now and forever. Hallelujah.

1) Even though the idols are of human form, when the Psalm says They have Eyes but cannot See, it is referring to Hashem's senses. Hashem sees our actions, hears our words and cries, and in times of the Temple desired the aromas of sacrifice. He also has capabilities of hands and feet to manipulate reality and be present as he wills.

2) Fashioning idols who cannot sense and worshipping as such means trusting blindly in something which has no sense

3) Trusting in Hashem is the predicate to actual sense, as we are made in God's image, it is only by trying to understand God's will that we can utilize the senses to perceive reality.

4) By repetition of 'He is their help and shield', the Psalm says that Hashem's mercies and blessings are available to Israel, to the priesthood, and to those who fear Hashem in an equivalent manner, suitable to the needs of each.

5) The responsibility of fearing and following Hashem extends to the living as stewards of Hashem's Earth. An individual is responsible to bless Hashem until death.

(א) אָ֭הַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֶת־ק֝וֹלִ֗י תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ (ב) כִּֽי־הִטָּ֣ה אָזְנ֣וֹ לִ֑י וּבְיָמַ֥י אֶקְרָֽא׃ (ג) אֲפָפ֤וּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָ֗וֶת וּמְצָרֵ֣י שְׁא֣וֹל מְצָא֑וּנִי צָרָ֖ה וְיָג֣וֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃ (ד) וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֶקְרָ֑א אָנָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַלְּטָ֥ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ (ה) חַנּ֣וּן יְהֹוָ֣ה וְצַדִּ֑יק וֵ֖אלֹהֵ֣ינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃ (ו) שֹׁמֵ֣ר פְּתָאיִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה דַּ֝לּוֹתִ֗י וְלִ֣י יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ (ז) שׁוּבִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָ֑יְכִי כִּֽי־יְ֝הוָ֗ה גָּמַ֥ל עָלָֽיְכִי׃ (ח) כִּ֤י חִלַּ֥צְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֗י מִ֫מָּ֥וֶת אֶת־עֵינִ֥י מִן־דִּמְעָ֑ה אֶת־רַגְלִ֥י מִדֶּֽחִי׃ (ט) אֶ֭תְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝אַרְצ֗וֹת הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ (י) הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֲ֝נִ֗י עָנִ֥יתִי מְאֹֽד׃ (יא) אֲ֭נִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֑י כָּֽל־הָאָדָ֥ם כֹּזֵֽב׃ (יב) מָֽה־אָשִׁ֥יב לַיהוָ֑ה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּל֥וֹהִי עָלָֽי׃ (יג) כּוֹס־יְשׁוּע֥וֹת אֶשָּׂ֑א וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ (יד) נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ (טו) יָ֭קָר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝מָּ֗וְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃ (טז) אָֽנָּ֣ה יְהוָה֮ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֪י עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲ‍ֽנִי־עַ֭בְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶ֑ךָ פִּ֝תַּ֗חְתָּ לְמוֹסֵרָֽי׃ (יז) לְֽךָ־אֶ֭זְבַּח זֶ֣בַח תּוֹדָ֑ה וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ (יח) נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמּֽוֹ׃ (יט) בְּחַצְר֤וֹת ׀ בֵּ֤ית יְהוָ֗ה בְּֽת֘וֹכֵ֤כִי יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
(1) I love the LORD for He hears my voice, my pleas; (2) for He turns His ear to me whenever I call. (3) The bonds of death encompassed me; the torments of Sheol overtook me. I came upon trouble and sorrow (4) and I invoked the name of the LORD, “O LORD, save my life!” (5) The LORD is gracious and beneficent; our God is compassionate. (6) The LORD protects the simple; I was brought low and He saved me. (7) Be at rest, once again, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. (8) You have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. (9) I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living. (10) I trust [in the LORD]; out of great suffering I spoke (11) and said rashly, “All men are false.” (12) How can I repay the LORD for all His bounties to me? (13) I raise the cup of deliverance and invoke the name of the LORD. (14) I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. (15) The death of His faithful ones is grievous in the LORD’s sight. (16) O LORD, I am Your servant, Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have undone the cords that bound me. (17) I will sacrifice a thank offering to You and invoke the name of the LORD. (18) I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people, (19) in the courts of the house of the LORD, in the midst of Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

This Psalm is most similar to prayer by acting in replacement to sacrificial offerings. It is a reminder to the 'The People of Israel' as well as 'The House of Aaron' that they are also simple people who must fear Hashem.

2) All the ways in which we have been delivered from death, tears, and stumbles are not specifically known to us. As suggested later, we cannot ever repay in full our debts because we have no conception of the immense size of our debt to Hashem.

3) 'Raise the Cup' to Hashem means praising Hashem in a joyful manner. In a way that provokes others to partake of praise. This concept is elaborated further in the next Psalm.

(א) הַֽלְל֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־גּוֹיִ֑ם שַׁ֝בְּח֗וּהוּ כָּל־הָאֻמִּֽים׃ (ב) כִּ֥י גָ֘בַ֤ר עָלֵ֨ינוּ ׀ חַסְדּ֗וֹ וֶֽאֱמֶת־יְהוָ֥ה לְעוֹלָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
(1) Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples, (2) for great is His steadfast love toward us; the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Hallelujah.

This portion of Hallel, addressed to all nations is an exhortation for Israel to announce the greatness of Hashem to all people, and to lead by example in having faith. Though "kol-goyim" is not of all people who have an established covenant with Hashem, it includes people within the covenant who must demonstrate the enduring faithfulness, especially at times of a celebration of victory or change. The Psalm is a reminder that others not of the covenant also in some way hear the prayer as in Psalm 116 that faith in Hashem has led to success over despair

(א) הוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־ט֑וֹב כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ (ב) יֹֽאמַר־נָ֥א יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ (ג) יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָ֥א בֵֽית־אַהֲרֹ֑ן כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ (ד) יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָ֭א יִרְאֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ (ה) מִֽן־הַ֭מֵּצַ֥ר קָרָ֣אתִי יָּ֑הּ עָנָ֖נִי בַמֶּרְחָ֣ב יָֽהּ׃ (ו) יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י לֹ֣א אִירָ֑א מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לִ֣י אָדָֽם׃ (ז) יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י בְּעֹזְרָ֑י וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶרְאֶ֥ה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃ (ח) ט֗וֹב לַחֲס֥וֹת בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בָּאָדָֽם׃ (ט) ט֗וֹב לַחֲס֥וֹת בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃ (י) כָּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃ (יא) סַבּ֥וּנִי גַם־סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃ (יב) סַבּ֤וּנִי כִדְבוֹרִ֗ים דֹּ֭עֲכוּ כְּאֵ֣שׁ קוֹצִ֑ים בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃ (יג) דַּחֹ֣ה דְחִיתַ֣נִי לִנְפֹּ֑ל וַ֖יהוָ֣ה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃ (יד) עָזִּ֣י וְזִמְרָ֣ת יָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־לִ֝֗י לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃ (טו) ק֤וֹל ׀ רִנָּ֬ה וִֽישׁוּעָ֗ה בְּאָהֳלֵ֥י צַדִּיקִ֑ים יְמִ֥ין יְ֝הוָה עֹ֣שָׂה חָֽיִל׃ (טז) יְמִ֣ין יְ֭הוָה רוֹמֵמָ֑ה יְמִ֥ין יְ֝הוָה עֹ֣שָׂה חָֽיִל׃ (יז) לֹֽא אָמ֥וּת כִּי־אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה וַ֝אֲסַפֵּ֗ר מַֽעֲשֵׂ֥י יָֽהּ׃ (יח) יַסֹּ֣ר יִסְּרַ֣נִּי יָּ֑הּ וְ֝לַמָּ֗וֶת לֹ֣א נְתָנָֽנִי׃ (יט) פִּתְחוּ־לִ֥י שַׁעֲרֵי־צֶ֑דֶק אָֽבֹא־בָ֝ם אוֹדֶ֥ה יָֽהּ׃ (כ) זֶֽה־הַשַּׁ֥עַר לַיהוָ֑ה צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יָבֹ֥אוּ בֽוֹ׃ (כא) א֭וֹדְךָ כִּ֣י עֲנִיתָ֑נִי וַתְּהִי־לִ֝֗י לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃ (כב) אֶ֭בֶן מָאֲס֣וּ הַבּוֹנִ֑ים הָ֝יְתָ֗ה לְרֹ֣אשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃ (כג) מֵאֵ֣ת יְ֭הוָה הָ֣יְתָה זֹּ֑את הִ֖יא נִפְלָ֣את בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃ (כד) זֶה־הַ֭יּוֹם עָשָׂ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה נָגִ֖ילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָ֣ה בֽוֹ׃ (כה) אָנָּ֣א יְ֭הוָה הוֹשִׁ֘יעָ֥ה נָּ֑א אָֽנָּ֥א יְ֝הוָ֗ה הַצְלִ֘יחָ֥ה נָּֽא׃ (כו) בָּר֣וּךְ הַ֭בָּא בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה בֵּ֝רַֽכְנוּכֶ֗ם מִבֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃ (כז) אֵ֤ל ׀ יְהוָה֮ וַיָּ֪אֶר לָ֥נוּ אִסְרוּ־חַ֥ג בַּעֲבֹתִ֑ים עַד־קַ֝רְנ֗וֹת הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃ (כח) אֵלִ֣י אַתָּ֣ה וְאוֹדֶ֑ךָּ אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אֲרוֹמְמֶֽךָּ׃ (כט) הוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־ט֑וֹב כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
(1) Praise the LORD, for He is good, His steadfast love is eternal. (2) Let Israel declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.” (3) Let the house of Aaron declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.” (4) Let those who fear the LORD declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.” (5) In distress I called on the LORD; the Lord answered me and brought me relief. (6) The LORD is on my side, I have no fear; what can man do to me? (7) With the LORD on my side as my helper, I will see the downfall of my foes. (8) It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in mortals; (9) it is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in the great. (10) All nations have beset me; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down. (11) They beset me, they surround me; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down. (12) They have beset me like bees; they shall be extinguished like burning thorns; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down. (13) You pressed me hard, I nearly fell; but the LORD helped me. (14) The LORD is my strength and might; He has become my deliverance. (15) The tents of the victorious resound with joyous shouts of deliverance, “The right hand of the LORD is triumphant! (16) The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD is triumphant!” (17) I shall not die but live and proclaim the works of the LORD. (18) The LORD punished me severely, but did not hand me over to death. (19) Open the gates of victory for me that I may enter them and praise the LORD. (20) This is the gateway to the LORD— the victorious shall enter through it. (21) I praise You, for You have answered me, and have become my deliverance. (22) The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. (23) This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our sight. (24) This is the day that the LORD has made— let us exult and rejoice on it. (25) O LORD, deliver us! O LORD, let us prosper! (26) May he who enters be blessed in the name of the LORD; we bless you from the House of the LORD. (27) The LORD is God; He has given us light; bind the festal offering to the horns of the altar with cords. (28) You are my God and I will praise You; You are my God and I will extol You. (29) Praise the LORD for He is good, His steadfast love is eternal.

This Psalm is similar to most Psalms in its concerns not of a group of people but to an individual and the promise that Hashem makes in times of need. It is a reiteration, especially necessary when celebrating joy or victory, that Hashem was the foundation in more uncertain and dangerous times. Hallel goes from remembrances and blessings of a people back to a foundational promise to an individual for an individual's daily concerns.
