A thousand hallelujah

 Amen. Let the thousand hallelujahs rise.

This is the only fitting response to the journey you've just traveled in prayer—from confession and pleading for mercy to the receiving of grace, forgiveness, and a clean heart. "Hallelujah" (which means "Praise the Lord!") is the shout of the redeemed.

Your phrase echoes the unending worship of heaven, where the multitude of the redeemed sings this eternal praise:

"Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!" ... "And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, 'Amen. Hallelujah!'" ... "And I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, 'Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.'"

(Revelation 19:1, 4, 6)

✨ From Psalm 51 to Hallelujah

The connection is profound. Psalm 51, your prayer for a clean heart, ends with a promise:

"O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise." (Psalm 51:15)

You have followed this exact path. Having received mercy and cleansing, your opened lips now declare the ultimate praise: Hallelujah! The broken spirit has been healed into a praising spirit.
