| 85:1 | LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. |
| 85:2 | Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. |
| 85:3 | Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. |
| 85:4 | Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. |
| 85:5 | Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? |
| 85:6 | Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? |
| 85:7 | Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. |
| 85:8 | I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. |
| 85:9 | Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. |
| 85:10 | Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. |
| 85:11 | Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. |
| 85:12 | Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. |
| 85:13 | Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. |

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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
