Psalms 146:1. Praise ye the LORD.
Or, "Hallelujah." 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 Jah, 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."
Psalms 146:1. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Whatever we exhort others to do, we should be ready to do ourselves; yea, our own soul should praise the Lord most of all, since, if we rightly know our obligations, no one in the world is so much indebted to God as each one of us should feel himself to be. "Praise the Lord, O my soul;" not my lips only, but my innermost spirit, for soul-music is the soul of music: "Praise the Lord, O my soul."
