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.

What YHWH teaches his people so they may live.

Delight, joy; that in which someone finds pleasure. It is used often in Psalm 119 for God's instruction.
