Psalm 113-118: The Hallel and the Passover

Every day is a good day to sing Hallelujah but Passover is an especially relevant time to sing this praise. (Banner by Freeimages.com/Billy Alexander)

As we prepare ourselves for the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, let’s focus our attention on the group of Psalms that are called “The Egyptian Hallel.” The phrase “Hallelu Yah” — praise the Lord — shows up frequently in these Psalms. That is why they are nicknamed “the Hallel.” These are the Psalms that Jews in New Testament times commonly sang during the Passover seder and we see in the Scriptures that Yeshua and the Apostles sang “The Egyptian Hallel” with Him for the last time before His death.

Passion of the Messiah in Psalms

In preparation for Passover, we consider the theme of Psalms 22, 23, 40 and 88 is not death but the willingness to die despite one’s fear of death. Yeshua (Jesus) had fear God because He knew God’s awesome power first-hand. He feared death, not the Devil.

Sukkot: The Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-135)

Herod’s Temple in Jerusalem
Herod's Temple

The Psalms of Ascent (שִׁירים הַמַּעֲלוֹת Shirim haMa’alot, Psalms 120-135) are called such because they relate to the ancient practice of publicly singing these songs when going to God’s house in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). These poems are connected to סוכת Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles, which runs for seven days from the 15th day of the seventh month on the biblical calendar.
