Yahweh Yireh – The Lord Will Provide
Yahweh Yireh (Jehovah-jireh) – The Lord Will Provide – The Lord who sees
Genesis 22:13-14 KJV And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. (14) And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
He is the L-rd who sees our need beforehand and provides for us in every situation. What a comfort to know that G-d can and will provide for you because He has seen and knows your need far before you even knew you had one!
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
We can cast all our cares on Him.
Matthew 10:29-31 KJV Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. (30) But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (31) Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:24-31 KJV Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? (25) And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? (26) If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? (27) Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (28) If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? (29) And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. (30) For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. (31) But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Yahweh Yireh will see to it! He will not fail in his word.
Pray first before you do anything. Trust in G-d. He will provide.
He is Jehovah Jireh
He will supply all your needs
He is never late
He never forgets
He never fails

Wow! I was delighted that you had the Hebrew word yireh on this. Reverential fear — a very healthy respect of His awesomeness is the meaning it conveys.
Now my mind jumps to Yerushalayim …
According to a midrash (Genesis Rabba), Abraham came to the city, then called Shalem, after rescuing Lot.[22] Abraham asked the king and high priest Melchizedek to bless him. This encounter was commemorated by adding the prefix Yeru (derived from Yireh, the name Abraham gave to the Temple Mount)[22] producing Yeru-Shalem, meaning the “city of Shalem,” or “founded by Shalem.” Shalem means “complete” or “without defect”. Hence, “Yerushalayim” means the “perfect city,” or “the city of he who is perfect”.[23] The ending -im indicates the plural in Hebrew grammar and -ayim the dual, possibly referring to the fact that the city sits on two hills.[24][25] The pronunciation of the last syllable as -ayim appears to be a late development, which had not yet appeared at the time of the Septuagint.
Some believe that a city called Rušalimum or Urušalimum which appears in ancient Egyptian records is the first reference to Jerusalem.[26]The Greeks added the prefix hiero (“holy”) and called it Hierosolyma. To the Arabs, Jerusalem is al-Quds
(“The Holy”). “Zion” initially referred to part of the city, but later
came to signify the city as a whole. Under King David, it was known as Ir David (the City of David).[27]
