Jehovah

Yahweh variant rendering

Jehovah is a form of the Hebrew name for God, used in some English translations of the Bible and by certain Christian denominations, particularly Jehovah's Witnesses.

The name derives from the four Hebrew letters YHWH, traditionally considered too sacred to pronounce.

Jehovah is my shepherd.

In casual speech, great Jehovah serves as a mild oath expressing surprise.
