Some grammar points.
Pronouns -
thou/ye & thee/you - indicates singular/plural only, Never status/respect as it does in common speech. God is singular and therefore never addressed using "you" (this does not mean "thou" is a "respectful" term)
"-th" ending for he/she/it (-s marks plural nouns only; No verb form ends in -s…)
"my lord" is a pronoun ('you'); "thy servant", "his servant" are pronouns ('me')
he/his for it/its;
she/her for it/its - mainly in referring to cities… "daughter of Judah" etc. likewise refer to cities of nations. (Chittim, Tyre, Zion, Israel, Judah, Jerusalem, Babylon, Samaria, Sodom, Nineveh). Also used for: the land (2Ch36); a fig tree (Rev6); a vine (Psa80, Eze17-19), ships (Act21/27), and Wisdom (Pro).
"no man" for "no one"
father/son/mother/daughter terms were used for extended-family relationships
other/such/certain/chief/choice/chosen/best [ones]
to/unto, til/until
would/could/should
Will vs shall
- "Will" shows "willingness" to do, often in contrast with "shall", but most especially in conditional structures: "if you will A, then I shall B"
- "Will" can & does also just express the future tense, as in the structure "I shall A, and will B" - this "shall" sets up the "will" to be a mere expression of sequence
- The structure "I will A, and will B" may be a sequence of actions, OR it may be a list of [concurrent/simultaneous] expressions of willingness
