HALLELUJAH! or HALLALUYAH! or ALLELUIA!

This is the transliteration of the Hebrew word הַלְּלוּיָהּ (Standard Hebrew Halləluya, Tiberian Hebrew Halləlûyāh) meaning "[Let us] praise (הַלְּלוּ) God (יָהּ)" (or "Praise (הַלְּלוּ) [the] Lord (יָהּ)".)

Hallelujah contains the shortened form of God's name: Yah, for Yahweh (Jehovah, in the English translation). Many people in the Bible had that names ended the same way, like Hezekiah (Yahweh is my stength) and Isaiah, (Yahweh saves).

"Hallelujah" is considered the most joyful word of praise to God.

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying ALLELUIA: Salvation and glory and power, unto the Lord our God.---Revelation 19:1 KJV
