In the Old Testament, we see that name differentiated from "God" by the use of caps throughout. Jehovah = LORD, God = Lord. So watch this sometime when you are reading the Psalms; there are entire blocks of the Psalms that do not use the word Jehovah at all, but only God the Lord. It's a fascinating study.
Note Psalm 11 for a beautiful description of this Jehovah God:

Note as well, the form of Lord used - all caps. This is the Great I AM. Daniel 9:14 says this: Therefore the Lord has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us, for the Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice.
Jehovah God is righteous when He judges and holy in all His ways . . . and we have not obeyed His voice. What does this mighty Jehovah God do about that?
Please think on that question, and we'll talk more tomorrow.
