Episode 48: Why sing “hallelujah”?

from Chunks: The Book of Psalms · host Cameron Lee

The gospel of Matthew tells us that when Jesus and his disciples finished their Passover meal in the Upper Room, they sang a hymn before leaving for the Mount of Olives. After what Jesus had told them, was anyone in the mood for singing? And what would they have sung? Probably Psalms 113 to 118, which are collectively known as The Egyptian Hallel. Here, we’ll begin our exploration of the Hallel with Psalm 113.
