King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 13:1 | How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
| 13:2 | How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? |
| 13:3 | Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; |
| 13:4 | Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. |
| 13:5 | But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. |
| 13:6 | I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. |
King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
