King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 16:1 | Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. |
| 16:2 | O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; |
| 16:3 | But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. |
| 16:4 | Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. |
| 16:5 | The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. |
| 16:6 | The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
| 16:7 | I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. |
| 16:8 | I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
| 16:9 | Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. |
| 16:10 | For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |
| 16:11 | Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. |
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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
