King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 64:1 | Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence. |
| 64:2 | As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! |
| 64:3 | When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. |
| 64:4 | For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. |
| 64:5 | Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. |
| 64:6 | But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. |
| 64:7 | And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. |
| 64:8 | But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. |
| 64:9 | Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. |
| 64:10 | Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. |
| 64:11 | Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. |
| 64:12 | Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore? |

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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
