Where else “avaracha” appearsYHWH
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” appearstime

Where else “fi” appearsThe first sentence is the title: David pretended to be mad in order to escape (1 Samuel 21:10-15, where the king is called Achish; in Genesis 26:1 “Abimelech” is the name of a king of the Philistines). This psalm is alphabetic: in Hebrew the verses begin, in order, with the letters of the alphabet, with some irregularities (one letter is missing, and the last verse stands outside the series).
