The Hallel Psalms and the Passover Cornerstone

Father, we just come to You right now to sing the Hallel. And if one wants to sing the Hallel with us, it is Psalm 113 through Psalm 118. This is what King David wrote for the Hallel book of the feast days. This is what Psalm 118 is, a crucifixion hymn about Yeshua the Messiah. So, we are going to come to the Father to sing what King David wrote for the Hallel for all of us. Again, it is Psalm 113 through 118. We will be reading. If you would like to read it with us as a witness, that is okay if not.

So, Father, we just come to You in the name and blood of Yeshua about what King David wrote about Your Son, from Psalm 113 through 118. We just come to praise Your name and we come to praise His name as well, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Praise Yah. Praise all you servants of Yah. Blessed be the name of Yah. Blessed be the name of Yahweh now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to his going down, the name of Yahweh is to be praised. He is high above all nations. His esteem is above the heavens. Who is like Yahweh our Elohim, who is enthroned on high? He looks down on the heavens and on the earth. He raises the poor out of the dust. He lifts the needy from the dung hill to make him sit with nobles, with the nobles of His people, causing the barren woman to dwell in a house, a rejoicing mother of children. Praise Yah.

It is written in Psalm 114: "When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became His set-apart place, and Israel His rule. The sea saw and it fled. The Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams. The little hills like lambs. Why was it, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back? O mountains, that you skip like rams? O little hills like little lambs? Tremble, O earth, from the face of the Master, from the face of the Eloah of Jacob, who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water."

It is written in Psalm 115: "Not to us, O Yah, not to us, but to Your name give esteem, for Your loving commitment, for Your truth. Why should the nations say, 'Where now is their Elohim?' But our Elohim is in the heavens. Whatever pleases Him, He has done. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see. They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell. They have hands, but they do not handle. They have feet, but they do not walk. They make no sound through their throat. The ones who make them shall become like them, all who trust in them. Oh Israel, trust in Yah. He is their help and their shield. Oh house of Aaron, trust in Yah. He is their help and their shield. You who fear Adonai, trust in Yah. He is their help and their shield. Yahweh has remembered us. He blesses us. He blesses the house of Israel. He blesses the house of Aaron. He blesses those who fear Adonai, the small and the great. Yahweh gives you increase more and more, you and your children. You are blessed by Yah, who made the heavens and the earth. The heavens are the heavens of Yah. He has given the earth to the children of men. The dead do not praise Yah, nor any going down to silence. But we, we bless Yah now and forevermore. Praise Yah."

It is written in Psalm 116: "I love Yah because He has heard my voice and my pleas because He has inclined His ear to me. I shall call all throughout my days. The pangs of death were around me, and the pains of Sheol came upon me. I found distress and sorrow. Then I called upon the name of Yah. 'O Yah, I pray to You, deliver my being.' Yah shows favor and is righteous, and our Elohim is compassionate. Yah guards the simple; and I was brought low, but He saved me. Return to your rest, O my soul, for Yahweh has treated you well, for You have delivered my being from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I shall walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. I have believed, therefore I speak. I have been greatly afflicted. I said in my haste, 'All men are liars.' What shall I return to Yahweh? All His bounties are upon me. I lift up the cup of salvation, and I call upon the name of Yah. I pay my vows to Yahweh now in the presence of all of His people. Precious in the eyes of Yah is the death of His loving committed ones. O Yah, I am truly Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. I offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and I call upon the name of Yah. I pay my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all of His people, in the courts of the Lord's house, O Elohim. In the midst of you, O Jerusalem, praise Yah."

It is written in Psalm 117: "Praise Elohim, all you nations. Extol Him, all you peoples, for His loving commitment is mighty over us, and the truth of Yahweh is everlasting. Praise Yahweh."

So, Father, we just come to You right now to sing this last psalm that King David wrote about our Savior, about Yeshua the Messiah, in Psalm 118. It is a Passover hymn, a crucifixion hymn. And we just come to close out this worship and praise section, Lord, by just praising Your holy name and what Yeshua has done for us on Passover to give us the righteous verdicts.

It is written in Psalm 118: "Oh, give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good, because His loving commitment is everlasting. Let Israel now say, 'His loving commitment is everlasting.' Let the house of Aaron now say, 'His loving commitment is everlasting.' Let those who fear Yah say, 'His loving commitment is everlasting.' I called on Yah in distress, and Yahweh answered me and put me in a broad place. He is on my side; I do not fear what man can do to me. Yeshua, Yahweh is for me among those helping me. Therefore, I looked on those who hated me. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust in princes. All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of Yah, I will destroy them. They surrounded me; yes, they have surrounded me, but in the name of Yah, I will cut them off. They surrounded me like bees, but they were extinguished like a burning thorn. In the name of Yah, I shall cut them off. Pushing the enemy pushed me to fail, but Yah helped me. He is my strength. Yah is my strength, and He is my song, and He has become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and deliverance is in the tents of the righteous. The right hand of Yah is doing mightily. The right hand of Yahweh is exalted. The right hand of Yahweh acts mightily. Let me not die, but live and declare the works of Yah. Yahweh has punished me severely, but He has not given me over to death. Open the gates of righteousness, and I will enter through them. I thank Yah. This is the gate of Elohim through which the righteous shall enter. And I thank You, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation. The stone which the builders rejected, Yeshua, has become the chief cornerstone. This was from Yah. It is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has made, which is Passover. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. I pray, O Yah, please save now. I pray, O Yah, please send prosperity. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. He shall bless you from the house of Yah. Yah is L, and He has given us light. Bind the festival offering, Yeshua, with cords to the horns of the altar. You are my L; I will praise You. You are my Elohim; I will exalt You. Give thanks to Yah, for He is good, and His loving mercy and commitment is everlasting."
