To L and T index ] The reason why "Thee" and "Thou" are used to adress God is because it is the singular. If plural, "Ye" would be used.


] Interestingly, the "Ye" form was originaly pronounced "thee" because the anglo-saxon letter for "th" looks like a "Y"


"you" is used to address god in many modern liturgies.
