English term or phrase: the loving god
well actually, I'm just trying to recall the definition of lelu as in the hebrew word ha-lelu-ya. Most translators will say it means praise god but ha means the and ya is the old word for god (any god)but I can't recall the definition of lelu. I keep thinking it means people or loving but I don't know. The loving god or the peoples'god? Thanks for your time.

Hebrew translation:praise god
Explanation:
This 'ha' has nothing to do with 'the'. The root h-l-l means to praise.
Ya = god, yes.
