YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

The context
13And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on its enemies. Is it not written in the book of the Upright? The sun stopped in the middle of the heavens and did not hurry to go down for about a whole day.
