YHVH Elyon — The LORD Most High
יְהוָה עֶלְיוֹן
The covenant Name crowned with Melchizedek's title: YHVH, the Most High.
The psalms join the intimate Name to the transcendent title — the God who walks with Israel is the one exalted over every power. Sung at coronation psalms in both traditions' worship.
