The Jehovah Names of God
For years I have been familiar with this list of “Names of God”, which I first discovered in a Kay Arthur Bible study:
Now that I am researching so much of the Hebrew roots of my Christian beliefs, I have found that the above graphic is the list of direct names of the Lord found in scripture…but you might come across additional “Jehovah” names that are inferred from the verse(s) they are found in. Here is a more extended list that Pastor Mike Stone of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Blackshear, Georgia posted these on his blog (which is no longer active) and I thought it would be good to reproduce them here as well.
Genesis 22:14 – Jehovah Jireh – The Lord, my Provider
Exodus 15:26 – Jehovah Rapha – The Lord who heals
Exodus 17:15 – Jehovah Nissi – The Lord, my banner
Exodus 31:13 – Jehovah M’Kaddesh – The Lord who sanctifies
Deuteronomy 33:29 – Jehovah Chereb – The Lord, my Sword
Deuteronomy 33:29 – Jehovah Magen – The Lord, my Shield
Judges 6:24 – Jehovah Shalom – The Lord, my Peace
1 Samuel 1:3 – Jehovah Sabaoth – Lord of the hosts of heaven
Psalm 3:3 – Jehovah Kahbodi – The Lord, my Glory
Psalm 10:16 – Jehovah Malech-Olam – The Lord who is king forever
Psalm 18:1 – Jehovah Chezeq – The Lord, my strength
Psalm 18:2 – Jehovah Misqabbi or Metsudah– The Lord, my strong tower
Psalm 18 – Jehovah Naheh – The Lord who smites the enemy
Psalm 18:2 – Jehovah Seli – The Lord, my Rock
Psalm 20:5-9 – Jehovah Hoshea – The Lord, my Savior
Psalm 23:1 – Jehovah Rohi – The Lord, my Shepherd
Psalm 24:8 – Jehovah Milchamma – The Lord, mighty in battle
Psalm 27:1 – Jehovah Ori – The Lord, my Light
Psalm 84:2 – Jehovah Chay – The Living God
Psalm 89:18 – Jehovah Gannan – The Lord who is my defense

Psalm 98:6 – Jehovah Hamelech – The Lord, my King
Isaiah 40:28 – Jehovah Bara – The Lord, my Creator
Isaiah 60:16 – Jehovah Goel – The Lord, my Redeemer
Jeremiah 16:19 – Jehovah Ma’oz – The Lord, my Fortress
Jeremiah 23:6 – Jehovah Tsidkenu – The Lord, my righteousness
Ezekiel 48:35 – Jehovah Shammah – The Lord who is present
Did you read the list? You’re not done yet.
Take a moment to really consider these aspects of God’s nature: Provider, healer, battle flag, sanctifier, sword, shield, peace, Lord of heaven, glory, king forever, strength, strong tower, victor over enemies, rock, savior, shepherd, great in battle, light, defense, refuge, King, creator redeemer, fortress, righteousness, always present.
Lastly repeat this list — out loud if you’re in a place that’s possible — with the word my in front of each adjective: My provider, my healer, my battle flag… etc.
