Psalms 97:9 KJV

For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

Thou and Ye

  • thou 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
