King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 129:1 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
| 129:2 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. |
| 129:3 | The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. |
| 129:4 | The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
| 129:5 | Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. |
| 129:6 | Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: |
| 129:7 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
| 129:8 | Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
