Psalms 41:13

With the Hebrew beneath

Psalms 41:13, word by word

Blessed beבָּרוּךְbaruch

praise

To praise God: "blessed be YHWH".

Where else “baruch” 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

the Elohimאֱלֹהֵיelohe

Elohim

The one true God, the Creator; the word is plural but means one.

Israel, the new name Jacob received from God, explained as "you have striven with God" (Genesis 32:28); then the name of the people that came from him and, after the division, of the northern kingdom.

Translation note
