Context of Matthew 26:30
28This is my blood, the blood of the promise. It is poured out for many people so that sins are forgiven. 29“I can guarantee that I won’t drink this wine again until that day when I drink new wine with you in my Father’s kingdom.” After they sang a hymn, they went to the Mount of Olives. 31Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will abandon me tonight. Scripture says, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep in the flock will be scattered.’ 32“But after I am brought back to life, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30And when they had sung a hymn - means, probably, no more than a kind of recitative reading or chanting. As to the hymn itself, we know, from the universal consent of Jewish antiquity, that it was composed of Psalm 113:1-9, Psalm 114:1-8, 115, 116, Psalm 117:1-2, and 118, termed by the Jews הלל halel, from הללו־יה halelu -yah, the first word in Psalm 113:1-9.
