Psalm 146:1-10 Praise you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.… I am sorry to see that great word, Hallelujah, Hallelu-Jah, praise to Jah, Jehovah, become so hackneyed as it is, by talk about "Hallelujah lasses," and Hallelujah — I know not what. The Jews will not even pronounce the word Jab, or write it; it seems a great pity that it should be thus draggled in the dirt by Gentiles. "Praise ye the Lord." Whenever you make use of the word Hallelujah, let it be with the due reverence which should be given to that blessed name, for remember, "the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain." ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
