Can you think of any reason why we should abandon the singing of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" (A 400 year old song)?
As for the Bible, I much prefer the ESV, after preaching from the NASB for almost 20 years.
As for emotion, we both weep and laugh.

Nice song. But after singing it for 400 years as a child, I grew tired of it.
As for emotion, the Psalms command us to "Sing unto God a NEW song," "SHOUT unto God with a voice of triumph," "CLAP your hands all you people," "Praise him with instruments," and "Praise him with dancing."
Therefore, I have no problem with emotion.
