Hallelujah or Alleluia

Hallelujah or alleluia comes from the Hebrew, meaning praise (ye) Jah or praise the Lord. Hallelujah is an interjection or exclamation of triumphal praise by the godly to the Lord. “Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth” (Revelation 19:6 KJV). Even the world unwittingly uses the word Hallelujah as a proclamation of exasperated triumph — often with the lateral shaking of the head and the roll of the eyes. 

Thankful To Whom?

“1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. 5 For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations” (Psalm 100:1-5 KJV).
