Psalm 68:26 NWT
26 In congregated throngs bless God, Jehovah, [O you who are] from the Source of Israel.

It is interesting to note the New World Translation of the Bible is the only English translation we noted which retained Jehovah's personal name in this particular verse. Checking the Hebrew Old testament Masoretic text with embedded Strong's Numbers, [included in the e-Sword Bible research software by Rick Meyers - www.e-sword.net] we find the Hebrew name for God was indeed present in the original text [Strong's number H-3068]. It is puzzling the translators, who chose to include the name at least most of the other thousands of times it exists in the original Bible text, would choose to omit it in this one verse.

Psalms 68:26 ESV
(26) "Bless God in the great congregation, the LORD, O you who are of Israel's fountain!"

Psalms 68:26 GNB
(26) "Praise God in the meeting of his people; praise the LORD, all you descendants of Jacob!"

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
