King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 64:1 | Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. |
| 64:2 | Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: |
| 64:3 | Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: |
| 64:4 | That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. |
| 64:5 | They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
| 64:6 | They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. |
| 64:7 | But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. |
| 64:8 | So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. |
| 64:9 | And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. |
| 64:10 | The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
