Dr. J. Vernon McGee wrote, “The key word in the Book of Psalms is Hallelujah, that is Praise the Lord. The phrase has become a Christian cliché, but it is one that should cause a swelling of great emotion in the soul. Hallelujah, praise the Lord!” (see Psalms 113 to 118)


Hebrew term “hallelu-yah” appears only in Psalms, and Greek equivalent “alleluia” is found only in Revelation 19. (Dr. Don Orthner)


The center verse of the Bible is Psalm 118 verse 8, which reads: “It is better to trust the LORD than to put trust in man.”
