YHVH is the NAME of our eternal Elohim, the Creator of the Heavens and the earth. Elohim/Alaha/God/G-d is His TITLE. "YHVH yireh" is a combination of THE NAME and one of His attributes. It means YHVH provides. So since YHVH provides for his creatures/creation we also refer to this title as Divine Providence. Scripture uses either YHVH alone as the NAME or a combination of YHVH Elohim as NAME-TITLE together. Sometimes the scriptures use the TITLE ELOHIM by itself. All refer to the ONE CREATOR and sustainer of Heaven and earth. The English word LORD is the reverential substitute for the NAME YHVH. It is only out of reverence that the English Bible substitutes LORD for the NAME YHVH. The English word God is substituted for Elohim/Elohey/El or Alaha. Again it's a translation into the common English word God.
In Psalm 150:1 and 6 The first and the last words, the Hebrew word Hallelu-YAH incorporates a shorter form of YHVH. This means Praise-YHVH. This word has universal appeal in virtually all languages. It's incorporated in songs and prose and can be directly translated into "Praise the LORD" or "Praise YHVH" or "Praise The NAME". Halleluyah is equivalent to Barukh HaShem/Bless the NAME. Psalm 150:1 also contains Hallelu-EL.
