This is not the EXACT edition I use, but is the closest one I was able to find among the options that were listed.

Still, I highly recommend the NASB version of the Scriptures, as this is the translation generally considered closest to the original languages while still readable in English. Secondly, I always suggest a Study Bible so the serious Bible student has a ready set of helps to encourage digging deeper.
