It is found mainly in the book of Psalms. It has been accepted into the English language. The word is used in Judaism as part of the Hallel prayers. For most Christianity, Alleluia is considered the most joyful word of praise to God. In many denominations, the Alleluia, along with the Gloria in Excelsis Deo, it is not spoken or sung during the season of Lent, instead being replaced by a Lenten acclamation. Halleluyah is a composite of Hallelu and Yah. It literally translates from Hebrew as "Praise Yah, [you people!]" or simply "Praise Yah!"
