The main difference is that the frequency of occurrence for <i>YHWH</i> increases is proportion to <i>elohim</i>. I could also get very much the same result by including "Yahweh" in my English word search.

With respect to the search for "Lord" also getting hits of <i>adonai</i>, once again you're right. However, since my Analysis graph by Key number rather than by English word, the presence of <i>adonai</i> didn't pad the results for <i>YHWH</i>. It would have done so in the graph of the English words "Lord" and "God," though.

Mansfield https://www.accordancebible.com/3442946 Of course, I realize that this is a family devotion time, and you don't want totally geek out on your family, David, but wouldn't a key number search would have been a better option? Remember that the HCSB often simply renders YHWH as Yahweh instead of LORD. A quick search shows that Yahweh occurs 99 times in the HCSB Psalms. This would certainly skew your results. 

Also, as your chart at the bottom of the image shows, I'd also be concerned that a search for the English word Lord would result in hits pertaining to adonai as well as YHWH. 

So would a better search be  [KEY H3068] <OR> [KEY H0430] <OR> [KEY H0136] limited to the Psalms?

Again, I realize this is family devotion time :-)
