King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 26:1 | Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. |
| 26:2 | Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. |
| 26:3 | For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. |
| 26:4 | I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. |
| 26:5 | I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. |
| 26:6 | I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: |
| 26:7 | That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. |
| 26:8 | LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. |
| 26:9 | Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: |
| 26:10 | In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. |
| 26:11 | But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. |
| 26:12 | My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD. |

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 This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
