Psalms 89:52, 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
foreverעוֹלָםolam

forever

Time without end, beyond what a lifetime can see.

Where else “olam” appears
Amenאָמֵןamen

amen

Amen: "so it is," "so be it." Whoever says it accepts as firm and true what has just been said.

Where else “amen” appears

Translation note

With this praise ends the third of the five books of the Psalms (Psalms 73–89).

The context

51with which your enemies have reproached, YHWH, with which they have reproached the footprints of your anointed.
