Lyrics to Halleluyah (Psalm 150 | Leonard Cohen, arr. Meir Briskman, inspired by Pentatonix)
Hallelu El b’kodsho
Halleluhu birkia uzo
Halleluhu vig’vurotav,
Halleluhu k’rov gudlo.
Halleluhu b’teika shofar,
Halleluhu b’nevel v’khinor.
Halleluyah, Halleluyah...
Halleluhu b’tof u-mahol,
Halleluhu b’minim v’ugav.
Halleluhu b’tziltz’lei shama,
Halleluhu b’tziltz’lei tru’ah.
Kol ha-n'shamah t’hallel Yah
Halleluyah, Halleluyah...
I heard there was a secret chord,
that David played and it pleased the Lord,
Now where is the music that
came through you?
It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth,
the minor falls and the major lifts,
The baffled King composing Halleluyah.
Halleluyah, Halleluyah...
Praise God in the sanctuary;
Praise God in the powerful heavens.
Praise God for the mighty acts;
Praise God for infinite greatness.
Praise God with shofar calls;
Praise God with harp and lyre.
Praise God with drum and dance;
Praise God with flute and strings.
Praise God with crashing cymbals;
Praise God with resounding cymbals.
Let all that breathes praise God-Halleluyah!
