Like Psalms 146, 147, 148, and 149, Psalm 150 begins and ends in Hebrew with the word Hallelujah. [3] Further, David Guzik notes that each of the five books of Psalms ends with a doxology (i.e., a benediction), with Psalm 150 representing the conclusion of the fifth book as well as the conclusion of the entire work, [4] in a more elaborate manner than the concluding verses which close the ...
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. The New International Version translates the passage as: "'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge and you did not mourn.'

Noted American folk singer Pete Seeger began singing the song some time in the 1930s or 1940s, [12] and in the mid to late 1960s added a new verse ("We are dancing Sarah's circle") to reflect, as he saw it, a more feminist, less hierarchical, less restrictive, and more joyful meaning. [13] These lyrics were publicly sung at least as early as ...
