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.

Firm is my heart, Elohim; I will sing and sing psalms, even my glory. 2Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn. 3I will give you thanks among the peoples, YHWH; I will sing psalms to you among the nations. 4For great above the heavens is your loyal love, and to the clouds your truth. 5Be exalted above the heavens, Elohim; and over all the earth be your glory.
