King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 114:1 | When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; |
| 114:2 | Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. |
| 114:3 | The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. |
| 114:4 | The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. |
| 114:5 | What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? |
| 114:6 | Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? |
| 114:7 | Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; |
| 114:8 | Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. |

By the mid-18th century the wide variation in the various modernized printed texts of the Authorized Version, combined with the notorious accumulation of misprints, had reached the proportion of a scandal, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge both sought to produce an updated standard text. First of the two was the Cambridge edition of 1760, the culmination of twenty-years work by Francis Sawyer Parris, who died in May of that year. This 1760 edition was reprinted without change in 1762 and in John Baskerville's fine folio edition of 1763. This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
