A religious canticle, song, or psalm, Ephesians 5:19 Colossians 3:16 . Paul requires Christians to edify one another with "psalms and hymns and spiritual songs." Matthew says that Christ and his disciples, having supped, sung a hymn, and went out. They probably chanted a part of the psalms which the Jews used to sing after the Passover, which they called the Halal; that is, the Hallelujah psalms. These are Psalm 113:1-118:29 , of which the first two are supposed to have been chanted before the Passover was eaten, and the others afterwards.
