tod-in the Revised KJV you will not find JEHOVAH'S name at Psalm 83:18. Where you will find it is at the back of your bible under Jehovah and it has the one or few places you are supposed to "know" to replace the word God for JEHOVAH.
Jo's- Please remember that a "God" is anything that is worshipped. Budda is a "God" just as money can become a "God". This is something that help me come to a better understanding of the name of the only true God, JEHOVAH GOD. :
If you want someone to get to know you, what might you do? Would you not tell the person your name? Does God have a name? Many religions answer that his name is �God� or �Lord,� but those are not personal names. They are titles, just as �king� and �president� are titles. The Bible teaches that God has many titles. �God� and �Lord� are among them. However, the Bible also teaches that God has a personal name: Jehovah. Psalm 83:18 says: �You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.� If your Bible translation does not contain that name, you may want to consult the Appendix of this book (What Does the Bible REALLY teach? {A Publication of Jehovah's Witnesses}) to learn why that is so. The truth is that God�s name appears thousands of times in ancient Bible manuscripts. So Jehovah wants you to know his name and to use it. In a sense, he is using the Bible to introduce himself to you.
God gave himself a name that is full of meaning. His name, Jehovah, means that God can fulfill any promise he makes and can carry out any purpose he has in mind.* God�s name is unique, one of a kind. It belongs only to him. In a number of ways, Jehovah is unique. How is that so?
We saw that Psalm 83:18 said of Jehovah: �You alone are the Most High.� Similarly, Jehovah alone is referred to as �the Almighty.� Revelation 15:3 says: �Great and wonderful are your works, Jehovah God, the Almighty. Righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity.� The title �the Almighty� teaches us that Jehovah is the most powerful being there is. His power is unmatched; it is supreme. And the title �King of eternity� reminds us that Jehovah is unique in another sense. He alone has always existed. Psalm 90:2 says: �Even from time indefinite to time indefinite [or, forever] you are God.� That thought inspires awe, does it not?
Jehovah is also unique in that he alone is the Creator. Revelation 4:11 reads: �You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.� Everything that you can think of�from the invisible spirit creatures in heaven to the stars that fill the night sky to the fruit that grows on the trees to the fish that swim in the oceans and rivers�all of it exists because Jehovah is the Creator! (End of the section from the book)
One last thing. In what most people call "The Lord's Prayer", at the begin it states "Our father...holy be thy name." Who's name? JEHOVAH!
