Tehillim 117:1 Halacha: Mishneh Torah, Scroll & Kol Bo

הַֽלְל֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־גּוֹיִ֑ם שַׁ֝בְּח֗וּהוּ כָּל־הָאֻמִּֽים׃

Lobet den Herrn, all ihr Völker, preiset ihn, alle Nationen.

Mishneh Torah, Scroll of Esther and Hanukkah

And likewise when the reader reaches the beginning of each and every section, they go back and repeat what he said. How is this? When he says, "In the exodus of Israel from Egypt" — all of the people repeat and say, "In the exodus of Israel from Egypt." [Then] the reader says, "the House of Jacob from a people of foreign speech" — and all of the people answer, "Halleluyah." Until he says, "I have loved that the Lord hears my voice in my supplications" — [then] all of the people repeat and say, "I have loved that the Lord, etc." And likewise when the reader says, "Praise the Lord, all of the nations" — all of the people repeat and say, "Praise the Lord, all of the nations."

Kol Bo

And this is the order of recitation: every day that it is completed you bless "Who sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to finish the Hallel." And open with Hallelujah, (Psalm 113), when Israel left (Psalm 114), not unto us (Psalm, 115:1-11), LORD, remember us (Psalm 115:12-18), I loved (Psalm 116:1-11), how can I repay (Psalm 116:12-19), praise the LORD (Psalm 117), give thanks (Psalm 118:1-4), from the straits (Psalm 118:5-20), and it is customary to repeat each verse from I praise You to the end of the psalm (Psalm 118:21-29), because all the psalm up to I praise You is repeated in it of itself, as in from the straits I called on Yah; who answered me in width, Yah (Psalm 118:5), the LORD's right hand is high, the LORD's right hand does wonders (Psalm 118:16), and thus them all. And some do not repeat from please (Psalm 118:25) and on, and this is our custom — they pause and repeat please, LORD, save us please, and then afterwards please, LORD, give us success please, and although the whole thing is one verse, since please, LORD, save us please David's brothers recited, and please, LORD, give us success please David recited (Bavli Pesaḥim 119a:14). And although it is said only to pause in the midst of a verse to teach children, since one poet didn't say the whole thing we pause there. Or, one could say, they only said the prohibition of the midst of verses in Torah and Prophets, but not for writings. And bless afterwards "Let them praise You," and say the full kaddish.
