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.

Today: Mount Zion hill, Jerusalem
A hill in Jerusalem; it first named the fortress David captured, and later sometimes the whole city.
David captured the stronghold of Zion and called it the city of David (2 Sam 5:7). The Psalms and prophets call it the place where God lives among his people (Ps 48:2).
7Adonai has rejected his altar; he has repudiated his sanctuary; he has handed over into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have raised their voice in the house of YHWH as on a day of appointed feast.
8 · This verse (above)
9Her gates have sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes are among the nations; there is no instruction; even her prophets do not find a vision from YHWH.
