Hallelujah is not in The Bible. Neither is halleluyah. The word does not mean praise Jesus. It means praise Jah or Yah, both which are ancient names for the moon. It is said to mean praise Jehovah or Yahweh, but these guess names were invented in the 13th and 16th centuries. So who was the praise to before this? Scholars think it is rooted to alleluia in the book of Revelation. But a check of Revelation 7 with Revelation 19 indicates this is an interpolation replacing "amen." it is certain no one for the first 100 years of the church said or used it. Its use is predominately Catholic and adopted by tradition by Protestants. It most likely is a pagan praise to the moon god adopted as a praise to Jesus. It is claimed to be the highest praise but to whom and to what god? It does not mean praise Jesus.

Another Answer:

Usually, specific terms or phrases will depend on the version being used. The word 'hallelujah' does not appear in the King James Version or the NKJV, but appears in the New International Version in Revelation 19.

However, the term appears to be a two-word Hebrew phrase used predominantly in the Psalms. The Hebrew word 'hallelu' means 'a joyous praise in song boasting of God.' The second word, 'Yah' is the short form of 'YHWH' the Creator of all things and currently spelled 'Yahweh' in modern terms.
