With the princes of His people.

As a joyful mother of children.

(113:1)

It is said that Psalms 113-118 were ordained by the prophets and Torah scholars to be recited as a unit on special holy days. The unit was called the Hallel (Heb “Praise”).

(113:1)

According to Jewish tradition, one who had the office of Reader in a congregation would read the Psalms of the Hallel aloud, and when he came to a command to “Praise the LORD” (Heb Halelu Yah), it was the congregation’s duty to respond with “Hallelujah!”
