| 146:1 | Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
| 146:2 | While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. |
| 146:3 | Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. |
| 146:4 | His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. |
| 146:5 | Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: |
| 146:6 | Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: |
| 146:7 | Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: |
| 146:8 | The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: |
| 146:9 | The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. |
| 146:10 | The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD. |

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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
