Matthew 26:30

And when they had sung a hymn - means, probably, no more than a kind of recitative reading or chanting. As to the hymn itself, we know, from the universal consent of Jewish antiquity, that it was composed of Psalms 113:1-9, Psalms 114:1-8, 115, 116, Psalms 117:1-2, and 118, termed by the Jews halel , from ־ halelu - yah , the first word in Psalms 113:1-9. These six Psalms were always sung at every paschal solemnity. They sung this great hillel on account of the five great benefits referred to in it; viz.

1.The Exodus from Egypt, Psalms 114:1. When Israel went out of Egypt, etc.

2.The miraculous division of the Red Sea, Psalms 114:3. The sea saw it and fled.

3.The promulgation of the law, Psalms 114:4. The mountains skipped like lambs.

4.The resurrection of the dead, Psalms 116:9. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

5.The passion of the Messiah, Psalms 115:1. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, etc.
