Praise Yah????
I came across Psalm 116 the other day in the LSB and noticed an odd occurrence in verse 19:
In the courts of the house of Yahweh,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!
I assume we're not praising 'Yah' here so this must be a typo in Logos or in the LSB that's supposed to be Yahweh. I'm guessing it's the LSB at fault here being so new and all, but I did want to check.

Seems intentional:

Another translation of the same Hebrew word would be Hallelujah!
Is that more familiar?

It's not a mistake. It's actually what the original Hebrew says. The LSB is reflecting the fact that there are instances of a shortened form of the name Yahweh (Yah) in the Hebrew. And yes they are mostly in the Psalms.

Been using Hallelu YAH! for decades now and have been derided for it. When you know, standing alone can be bitter sweet.

Ran across this today in the Forward for the LSB.

In addition to Yahweh, the full name of God, the OT also includes references to God by a shorter version of His name, Yah. By itself, God’s name “Yah” may not be as familiar, but the appearance of it is recognizable in Hebrew names and words (e.g. Zechar-iah, meaning Yah remembers, and Hallelu-jah, meaning praise Yah!). God’s shortened name “Yah” is predominantly found in poetry and praise.

I had read through the forward but somehow missed this. Very helpful!
