Where your King James says Lord, the Hebrew says יהוה.

The 1611 translators replaced the name with Lord in small capitals almost everywhere it appears. This edition puts it back. Switch between the two to compare.

The LordJehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 23:1
The name of the LordJehovah is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Proverbs 18:10
I am the LordJehovah: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another.
Isaiah 42:8
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LordJehovah shall be delivered.
Joel 2:32

The King James Version kept the name in only four verses: Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 12:2 and Isaiah 26:4. Everywhere else it reads Lord or God.

The text

God's name, back in its place 7,023 times

Every verse where the Hebrew text carries the Tetragrammaton now reads Jehovah, or Jah where the original uses the short form. Where the New Testament quotes those verses, 128 times in all, the name is back there too.

Everything else is the King James text, unchanged.
