The Glorious Deliverance of the Exodus

Psalms 113-118 are the Great Hallel.

They are introduced with two other Hallel Psalms, 111 and 112, and they are followed by Psalm 119.

As with Psalm 119, Psalms 111 and 112 are acrostic Hebrew poems, meaning that they use the entire Hebrew alphabet from "A to Z" -- in Hebrew, from Aleph to Tau.

You can see this so clearly in Psalm 119, where the first line of each set of eight verses begins with a different Hebrew letter.

This layout is not so obvious to the English reader in Psalms 111 and 112, because the Psalmist began each phrase with a different letter, going from Aleph to Tau.

These two Psalms are a unit:

Psalm 111 celebrates God's salvation of his people in the Exodus.

Psalm 112 points us how we should express our gratitude.
