Psalms 119:166, word by word

I have hopedשִׂבַּרְתִּיsibarti

hope

Wait, hope.

Where else “sibarti” appears
for your salvationישׁוּעָתְyshuat

salvation

Salvation: the help with which God delivers from danger; also victory. The name "Jesus" (Yeshua) comes from the same root.

Where else “yshuat” appears
YHWHיְהוָהyehva

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 “yehva” appears

commandment

An order of God that must be kept.

Where else “mitsvote” appears
