Hallelujah, Halleluyah and the Latin form Alleluia are transliterations of the Hebrew word הללו יה (Standard Halleluya, Tiberian Halləlûyāh) meaning "Praise Jah" (from the first two letters of YHWH, written JHVH in Latin). Hallelujah is found primarily in the book of Psalms. The word is used in Judaism as part of the Hallel prayers, and in Christian prayer. It has been accepted into the English language and has a similar pronunciation in many other languages.

The term is used 24 times in the Hebrew Bible (mainly in the book of Psalms, e.g. 111--117, 145--150, where it starts and concludes a number of Psalms) and four times in Greek transliteration in the Christian Book of Revelation.

In the Hebrew Bible hallelujah is actually a two-word phrase, not one word. The first part, hallelu, is the second-person imperative masculine plural form of the Hebrew verb hallal.[1] However, "hallelujah" means more than simply "praise Yah", as the word hallel in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song, to boast in God. It could also refer to someone who acts madly or foolishly.[2]

The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH, the name for the Creator.[3] This name is not pronounced by Jews, as they are not permitted to speak the name of God, and in any case the correct pronunciation is not known. However, it is sometimes rendered by Christians as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah". Muslims have sometimes used the name in theological writings.[examples needed]

In many English Bibles (such as the King James Version, American Standard Version, and The Living Bible) the name Jehovah is used; few using Yahweh . This is sometimes used in harmony with the use of English versions of Hebrew names, such as "Jesus". Although the Septuagint translates Yah as Kyrios (the Lord), it is not the title "lord".

In Psalm 150:6 the Hebrew reads kol han'shamah t'hallel yah;[4] It appears in the Hebrew Bible as הללו~יה and הללו יה. In Psalm 148:1 the Hebrew says "הללו יה hallelu yah". It then says "hallelu eth-YHWH" as if using "yah" and "YHWH" interchangeably. The word "Yah" appears by itself as a divine name in poetry about 49 times in the Hebrew Bible (including hallelu yah), such as in Psalm 68:4--5 "who rides upon the deserts by his name Yah" and Exodus 15:2 "Yah is my strength and song". It also often appears at the end of Israelite theophoric names such as Isaiah "yeshayah(u), Yahweh is salvation" and Jeremiah "yirmeyah(u), Yahweh is exalted".

The word hallelujah occurring in Psalms is a Hebrew request for a congregation to join in praise toward God. It can be translated as "Praise God" or "Praise Yahweh, you people", and is usually worded in English contexts as "Praise the Lord".

Hallelujah appears in Revelation 19 in Greek transliteration as "hallelouia" (ἁλληλουϊά), the great song of praise to God for his triumphant reign over the Whore of Babylon. This transliteration also appears in the Septuagint.
