King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 1:1 | Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. |
| 1:2 | But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. |
| 1:3 | And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. |
| 1:4 | The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. |
| 1:5 | Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. |
| 1:6 | For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. |
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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
