King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 142:1 | I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. |
| 142:2 | I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. |
| 142:3 | When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. |
| 142:4 | I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. |
| 142:5 | I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. |
| 142:6 | Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. |
| 142:7 | Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. |

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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
