Chatzi is not half in hebrew. hasi is half in hebrew.

I do not believe this is correct. Chatzi (חצי) does translate as half. Josh Lee_TALK 12:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Place of this article among Psalms articles

This article finds a place on the psalms series box, but it is focused on the liturgical use of the Hallel in Jewish worship. In Christian tradition, all of Pss. 120-134 come as a unit called the "Gradual Psalms". It seems to me that it would be good to leave this article as is, also create a Gradual Psalms article, and then have neither referenced from the psalms series box--but perhaps start work on individual psalms within the set. What think ye all? Tb (talk) 20:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Obviously that was incoherent. They change the clocks and my brain goes haywire. Anyway, forget that last paragraph, and start over. What I mean is that this article is focused on Jewish liturgical use, which seems appropriate especially give the title, and thus should perhaps not be in the box for the psalms in general--but individual psalm articles should be, and each would obviously link here as a See Also.
