Psalms 3:8, word by word
- Salvationיְשׁוּעָהyeshua
salvation
Salvation: the help with which God delivers from danger; also victory. The name "Jesus" (Yeshua) comes from the same root.
Where else “yeshua” appears- to YHWHיהוָהyhva
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- your peopleעַמְּam
Ammi
Israel, YHWH's people: "my people".
Where else “am” appears- be your blessingבִרְכָתֶvirchate
blessing
The good God gives, or words asking for it.
Where else “virchate” appears- Selahסֶּלָהsela
Selah
Selah: a word found at the end of some stanzas of the psalms. It is probably a direction for the music or a pause; its exact sense is unknown, so it is left in Hebrew.
Where else “sela” appears
The context
7Rise up, YHWH; save me, my Elohim; for you have struck all my enemies on the cheek; the teeth of the wicked you have broken.
