King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 123:1 | Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. |
| 123:2 | Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. |
| 123:3 | Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. |
| 123:4 | Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. |

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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
