| 142:1 | Κύριε, εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου, ἐνὼτισαι τὴν δέησίν μου ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου, ἐπάκουσόν μου ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου· |
| 142:2 | καὶ μὴ εἰσέλθῃς εἰς κρίσιν μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου, ὅτι οὐ δικαιωθήσεται ἐνώπιόν σου πᾶς ζῶν. |
| 142:3 | ἐταπείνωσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ζωήν μου· ἐκάθισέν με ἐν σκοτεινοῖς ὡς νεκροὺς αἰῶνος· |
| 142:4 | καὶ ἠκηδίασεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τὸ πνεῦμά μου, ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου. |
| 142:5 | ἐμνήσθην ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων, καὶ ἐμελέτησα ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις σου, ἐν ποιήμασιν τῶν χειρῶν σου ἐμελέτων. |
| 142:6 | διεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς σέ, ἡ ψυχὴ μου ὡς γῆ ἄνυδρός σοι. διάψαλμα. |
| 142:7 | ταχὺ εἰσάκουσόν μου, Κύριε, ἐξέλιπεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου· μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ὁμοιωθήσομαι τοῖς καταβαίνουσιν εἰς λάκκον. |
| 142:8 | ἀκουστὸν ποίησόν μοι τὸ πρωὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου, ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα· γνώρισόν μοι, Κύριε, ὁδὸν ἐν ᾗ πορεύσομαι, ὅτι πρὸς σέ ἦρα τὴν ψυχήν μου. |
| 142:9 | ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, Κύριε. ὅτι πρὸς σέ κατέφυγον. |

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.
