Psalms 26:6 KJV

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

Thou and Ye

  • thine one person

In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?

Matthew Henry
