The following versions are those where either "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" is limited to use in the Old Testament. Unlike other Sacred Name Bibles, these are usually published by general publishers.
- Young's Literal Translation
- American Standard Version (1901)
- Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (1902)
- Bible In Basic English (1949/1964)
- Amplified Bible (1954/1987)

- Jerusalem Bible (1966)
- Anchor Bible
- New Jerusalem Bible (1985)
- New English Bible (NT 1961, OT 1970)
- Living Bible (1971)
- New Living Translation (1996/2004), and "LORD" with small capitals also in New Testament Old Testament quotes
- World English Bible (WEB)
Some translations use a form such as "Yahweh" only sporadically:
- Holman Christian Standard Bible (1999/2002), e.g. Jer. 14:16
- The Complete Bible: An American Translation by John Merlin Powis Smith (1939), e.g. Exodus 3:15, 6:3, 17:15, although not in Amos 5:8.

Famous quotes containing the words limited, sacred and/or bibles:
“Moreover, the universe as a whole is infinite, for whatever is limited has an outermost edge to limit it, and such an edge is defined by something beyond. Since the universe has no edge, it has no limit; and since it lacks a limit, it is infinite and unbounded. Moreover, the universe is infinite both in the number of its atoms and in the extent of its void.”
—Epicurus (c. 341–271 B.C.)
“A hidden strength
Which if Heav’n gave it, may be term’d her own:
‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
And like a quiver’d Nymph with Arrows keen
May trace huge Forests, and unharbour’d Heaths,
Infamous Hills, and sandy perilous wildes,
Where through the sacred rayes of Chastity,
No savage fierce, Bandite, or mountaneer
Will dare to soyl her Virgin purity,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“As for the sacred Scriptures, or Bibles of mankind, who in this town can tell me even their titles? Most men do not know that any nation but the Hebrews have had a scripture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
