Grammar Notes
Note for V. 2c
V. 2c הַלְלוּ־יָהּ The positioning of the halleluyah-subscript in v. 2c varies in different textual traditions. For example, the LXX and Jerome's Hebr. take the halleluyah from the end of the previous psalm (116) as the beginning of Ps 117, and the halleluyah at the end of Ps 117 as the beginning of Ps 118. This is part of larger compositional issues for the whole section of the psalter known as the Egyptian Hallel (Pss 113-118) (for detailed discussion of these textual and compositional issues see Hays 1999,145-156 and Hossfeld-Zenger 2011, 222, 178-179, 39-41).
