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.
Where else “yhva” appears- they have annulledהֵפֵרוּheferu
annul
To void a covenant or vow; spoil a plan.
Where else “heferu” appears- your instructionתּוֹרָתֶtorate

Where else “torate” appears
Translation note
The Hebrew can be understood “it is time for YHWH to act” or “it is time to act for YHWH.”
