Whereas for Brueggemann Psalm 117, psalm of descriptive praise, reflects the status quo with its characteristic way of portraying Yahweh, indeed becoming a conventional slogan, Nasuti points out the use of this psalm as part of the Egyptian Hallel in the standard Passover Haggadah. The main commandments of the Seder are to eat matzo, unleavened bread; to tell the story of the Exodus by reciting the main parts of the Haggadah; to drink four cups of wine or grape juice; to eat bitter herbs called maror; and to praise the Creator by reciting the hallel, a set of psalms. |
