| 56:4 | In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |

| 56:7 | Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. |
| 56:8 | Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? |

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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
