Psalms 148:7, word by word
- Praiseהַלְלוּhallu
praise
To celebrate someone's greatness with voice and song, above all YHWH's.
Where else “hallu” appears- YHWHיְהוָהyehva
YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

The context
6And he established them forever and ever; he gave a statute, and it will not pass away.
