Psalms 38:21, word by word
- abandon meתַּעַזְבֵtaazve
forsake
To turn one's back on YHWH, someone or a place.
Where else “taazve” 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- my Elohimאֱלֹהַeloha
Elohim
The one true God, the Creator; the word is plural but means one.
Where else “eloha” appears- be farתִּרְחַקtirchak
be far
To be distant: "do not stay away from me".
Where else “tirchak” appears
The context
20And those who repay evil for good oppose me because I pursue good.
