JHVH, whether originally pronounced Jehovah or YaHWeH, has been abbreviated in various ways – even in Holy Scripture itself. This is seen in many "Jehovah"-combinations into place-names in the Bible – such as in Jehovah-jireh or "JHVH shall provide"; Jehovah- nissi or "JHVH is my banner"; and Jehovah-shalom or "JHVH is peace." Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24. Moreover, JHVH is seen also in the abbreviation Yah or "Jah" (as in Psalm 68:4). Again, also in Isaiah 12:1-4’s Jah Jehovah or "the Lord JEHOVAH" and "Praise Jehovah." So too, of course, in hallelu-Jah (translated as "praise ye the Lord!") in Psalms 104:35 & 105:45 & 106:1 etc.
