Psalms 56:10, word by word

In Elohimאלֹהִיםlohim

Elohim

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

Where else “lohim” appears
whose wordדָּבָרdavar

word

What someone says or announces, above all what YHWH says.

Where else “davar” appears
I praiseאֲהַלֵּלahalel

praise

To celebrate someone's greatness with voice and song, above all YHWH's.

Where else “ahalel” appears
in 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.
