In the Hebrew reads "kol han'shamah t'hallel yah halelu-yah;" the first "hallel" and "yah" in this verse are two separate words, and the word "yah" is translated as "the LORD", or "YHWH". In 148:1 the Hebrew says "הללו יה "halelu yah"". It then says ""halelu eth-YHWH"" as if using ""yah"" and "YHWH" interchangeably. The word ""Yah"" appears by itself as a divine name in poetry about 49 times in the Hebrew Bible (including "halelu yah"), such as in "who rides upon the skies by his name "Yah"" and ""Yah" is my strength and song". It also often appears at the end of Israelite theophoric names such as Isaiah ""yeshayah(u)", Yahweh is salvation" and Jeremiah ""yirmeyah(u)", Yahweh is exalted".
