« | Psalm 75 | » |
1 Unto Thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto Thee do we give thanks. For that Thy name is near, Thy wondrous works declare.
2 When I shall receive the congregation, I will judge uprightly.
3 When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I bear up the pillars of it. Selah
4 I said unto the fools, "Deal not foolishly," and to the wicked, "Lift not up the horn.
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck."
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south,
7 but God is the Judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red and fully mixed; and He poureth out the same. But as for the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out and drink them.
9 But I will declare it for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked will I also cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
About: The 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
The 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) is an updated version of the King James Version Bible published in 1994 that remains aligned to the Textus Receptus, and does not exclude biblical passages based on Alexandrian Greek manuscripts. Unlike the New King James Version, it does not change the language significantly from the 1611 King James Version, keeping Jacobean grammar (including thee and thou), but it tries to substitute some of the vocabulary that may not be understood by the modern reader.
The alterations in words are based on the second edition of the Webster New International Dictionary. There were no changes related to gender or theology. Recently, it has the capitalization of pronouns much like New King James Version, addressing Deity while keeping the archaic pronouns.
