Bible Verses About Yahweh: 12

"Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD—that you alone are the Most High over all the earth."

— Psalm 83:18 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Yahweh want Scripture on the divine Name YHWH — the Tetragrammaton, often rendered LORD in English Bibles and spoken as Yahweh — not only the Jehovah Jireh compound-name pages alone or the I AM / I AM that I AM ehyeh inventory alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about I AM, Bible verses about I AM that I AM, Bible verses about Jehovah Jireh, Bible verses about the living God, Bible verses about the Holy One of Israel, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about worship, Bible verses about salvation, and Bible verse of the day. Yahweh here means the YHWH / Tetragrammaton Name itself — distinct from Jehovah-* compound titles and from ehyeh / Johannine I-am inventories alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, יהוה YHWH (Strong's H3068; Bible Hub H3068) is the proper Name of Israel's God — the Tetragrammaton. English Bibles often print LORD in small caps; the conventional scholarly reading is Yahweh. Psalm 83:18 presses "whose name is the LORD." Exodus proclaims the Name; the prophets and psalms call on the Name. This list tracks YHWH / "name is the LORD" / call-on-the-Name speech — not Jehovah-jireh provision compounds and not the ehyeh bush-name twelve alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalm 83 presses that the Name of the LORD is to be known — he alone is Most High over all the earth (Bible Hub MHC Psalms 83; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Psalm 83). On Exodus 34 he notes the LORD proclaiming his Name (Bible Hub MHC Exodus 34; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Exodus 34). (Jehovah-jireh compounds, I AM, and I AM that I AM live on those pages; this list centers the Tetragrammaton Name.)
