Psalms 79:5 KJV

How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Thou and Ye

  • thou, thy 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
