King James Bible (Oxford) 1769
| 7:1 | O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: |
| 7:2 | Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. |
| 7:3 | O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; |
| 7:4 | If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) |
| 7:5 | Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. |
| 7:6 | Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. |
| 7:7 | So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. |
| 7:8 | The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. |
| 7:9 | Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. |
| 7:10 | My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. |
| 7:11 | God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. |
| 7:12 | If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. |
| 7:13 | He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. |
| 7:14 | Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. |
| 7:15 | He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. |
| 7:16 | His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. |
| 7:17 | I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. |

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.
