You mean that He did not give Luther the New, Really New, Thoroughly Revised, Even Newer Intergalactic but Really Linguistically Dumbed Down Modern Best News Bible? I did not think so either. I actually use the KJV because (literarily) King Jimmy's scholars really got God's Voice into the language and I admit to a soft spot for the later Stuarts: Charles I, King and Martyr, Charles II (secretly Catholic) and James II, who had the spine to declare his Catholicism openly at the cost of his crown, and the later "pretender Stuarts who were far better than the minor but fertile German upstarts who usurped the throne.

God bless you and yours.

This might be unwise. While miles ahead of the modern dumbed-down translations, King James has the Protestant obfuscating language in numerous key points. "Kecharetomene" in Luke 1, for example, is normatively translated as "gratia plena" -- "full of grace", but King James has the tortured "most favoured one" instead. When John is instructed to take Mary as mother, the original says "elaven auten o mathethes eis ta idia [end of verse]", "the disciple took her to his own", but King James inserts "home", which twists the meaning into a trivial economic arrangement.

Use Douay. It is not free of errors (notably, Genesis 3:15 incorrectly uses feminine, "she will crush [the serpent's] head", when "he" is correct), but it is much cleaner overall.
