There are many names for God in the Bible, and eight of them are Redemptive Names.
Simply put with only a minor explanation as to the meaning, I place here the eight names.
JEHOVAH-JIREH
"The Lord our provider"
JEHOVAH-NISSI
"Our banner, a banner of love and protection".
JEHOVAH-SHALOM
"Our perfect peace"
JEHOVAH-TSID-KENU
"The Lord is our righteousness
JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH
"The One Who is with us everywhere for He is Omnipresent"
JEHOVAH-SABAOTH
"The Lord of Hosts, our Protector."
C.H. Spurgeon said this about the phrase "The Lord of Hosts: The Lord rules the angels, the stars, the elements, and all the hosts of Heaven; and the Heaven of heavens is under His sway... [the Lord] is on our side -- our august Ally; woe unto those who fight against Him, for they shall flee like smoke before the wind when He gives the word to scatter them."
See text at Psalm 46:7.
JEHOVAH-RAAH
"Our Shepherd Who tenderly leads us, loves us and will keep us safe."
The term shepherd appears approximately 80 times in the Scriptures, denoting meanings of: feeder, keeper, companion, friend, pastor and herdsman.
JEHOVAH RAPHA รข€“
"I am the Lord Your Physician or I am the Lord Your Healer.”
*The book All the Divine Names And Titles In The Bible by Herbert Lockyer used as source for certain material.
Zephaniah 3:17 reminds us that God is musical and He rejoices and sings over you. - - The LORD your God in the midst of you is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over you with joy; he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
