| 137:0 | Τῷ Δαυεἰδ. |
| 137:1 | Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, Κύριε, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου. ὅτι ἤκουσας τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου· καὶ ἐναντίον ἀγγέλων ψαλῶ σοι. |
| 137:2 | προσκυνήσω πρὸς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου, καὶ ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου, ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνας ἐπὶ πᾶν ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν σου. |
| 137:3 | ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαι, ταχὺ ἐπάκουσόν μου· πολυωρήσεις με ἐν ψυχῇ μου ἐν δυνάμει πολλῇ. |
| 137:4 | ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι, Κύριε, πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἤκουσαν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός σου· |
| 137:5 | καὶ ᾀσάτωσαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Κυρίου, ὅτι ἡ δόξα Κυρίου μεγάλη· |
| 137:6 | ὅτι ὑψηλὸς Κύριος, καὶ τὰ ταπεινὰ ἐφορᾷ, καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν γινώσκει. |
| 137:7 | ἐὰν πορευθῶ ἐν μέσῳ θλίψεως, ζήσεις με· ἐπʼ ὀργὴν ἐχθρῶν ἐξέτεινας χεῖράς μου. καὶ ἔσωσέν με ἡ δεξιά σου. |
| 137:8 | Κύριε, ἀνταποδώσεις ὑπέρ ἐμοῦ Κύριε, τὸ ἔλεός σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, Κύριε, τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου μὴ παρῇς. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
