"My Cup Runneth Over"


       Conversation in the car:

Don:  What's that sound?  Kind of a high sound.
Connie:  My cups hitting each other.
Don:  Oh.  My cups tinkleth over.
Connie:  (Chuckle.)
Don:  Why did they change that!
Connie:  What?
Don:  "My cup runneth over."
Connie:  Oh.
Don:  From the 23rd Psalm.  They had to modernize it, didn't they?
Connie:  What's the modern version?
Don:  I don't remember.  "My cup's filled to the brim."
Both:  (Chuckling)
Don:  That does sound awful.  What's wrong with keeping those wonderful translations from the King James version?!
