hallelujah
   praise ye jehovah, frequently rendered "praise ye the lord,"
   stands at the beginning of ten of the psalms 106, 111-113, 135,
   146-150, hence called "hallelujah psalms." from its frequent
   occurrence it grew into a formula of praise. the greek form of
   the word alleluia is found in rev. 19:1, 3, 4, 6.
