17:0	Εἰς τὸ τέλος· τῷ παιδὶ Κυρίου τῷ Δαυεἰδ, ἃ ἐλάλησεν τῷ κυρίῳ τοὺς λόγους τῆς ᾠδῆς ταύτης ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐρύσατο αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Σαούλ
17:1	καὶ εἶπεν· Ἀγαπήσω σε, Κύριε ἰσχύς μου.
17:2	Κύριος στερέωμά μου καὶ καταφυγή μου καὶ ῥύστης μου· ὁ θεός μου βοηθός, καὶ ἐλπιῶ ἐπʼ αὐτόν· ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ κέρας σωτηρίας, ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου.
17:3	αἰνῶν ἐπικαλέσομαι Κύριον, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου σωθήσομαι.
17:4	περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου, καὶ χείμαρροι ἀνομίας ἐξετάραξάν με·
17:5	ὠδῖνες ᾅδου περιεκύκλωσάν με, προέφθασάν με παγίδες θανάτου.
17:6	καὶ ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸν κύριον, καὶ πρὸς τὸν θεόν μου ἐκέκραξα· ἤκουσεν ἐκ ναοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἡ κραυγὴ μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ.
17:7	καὶ ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τῶν ὀρέων ἐταράχθησαν καὶ ἐσαλεύθησαν, ὅτι ὠργίσθη αὐτοῖς ὁ θεός.
17:8	ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πῦρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ κατεφλόγισεν, ἄνθρακες ἀνήφθησαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
17:9	καὶ ἔκλινεν οὐρανὸν καὶ κατέβη, καὶ γνόφος ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.
17:10	καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπὶ χερουβεὶν καὶ ἐπετάσθη, ἐπετάσθη ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμων.
17:11	καὶ ἔθετο σκότος ἀποκρυφὴν αὐτοῦ, κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ, σκοτινὸν ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις ἀέρων.
17:12	ἀπὸ τῆς τηλαυγήσεως ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ αἱ νεφέλαι διῆλθον, χάλαζα καὶ ἄνθρακες πυρός.
17:13	καὶ ἐβρόντησεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ ὕψιστος ἔδωκεν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ·
17:14	καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν βέλη καὶ ἐσκόρπισεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἀστραπὰς ἐπλήθυνεν καὶ συνετάραξεν αὐτούς.
17:15	καὶ ὤφθησαν αἱ πηγαὶ τῶν ὑδάτων, καὶ ἀνεκαλύφθη τὰ θεμέλια τῆς οἰκουμένης ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεώς σου, Κύριε, ἀπὸ ἐνπνεύσεως πνεύματος ἀργῆς σου.
17:16	ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐξ ὕψους καὶ ἔλαβέν με, προσέλαβε ἐξ ὑδάτων πολλῶν.
17:17	ῥύσεταί με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου δυνατῶν καὶ ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με, ὅτι ἐστερεώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.
17:18	προέφθασάν με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακώσεώς μου, καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος ἀντιστήριγμά μου,
17:19	καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με εἰς πλατυσμόν· ῥύσεταί με, ὅτι ἠθέλησέν με.
17:20	ῥύσεταί με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου δυνατῶν καὶ ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με. καὶ ἀνταποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἀνταποδώσει μοι.
17:21	ὅτι ἐφύλαξα τὰς ὁδοὺς Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ μου·
17:22	ὅτι πάντα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
17:23	καὶ ἔσομαι ἄμωμος μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ φυλάξομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου.
17:24	καὶ ἀνταποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.
17:25	μετὰ ὁσίου ὁσιωθήσῃ, καὶ μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ἀθῴου ἀθῷος ἔσῃ,
17:26	καὶ μετὰ ἐκλεκτοῦ ἐκλεκτὸς ἔσῃ, καὶ μετὰ στρεβλοῦ διαστρέψεις.
17:27	ὅτι σὺ λαὸν ταπεινὸν σώσεις, καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑπερηφάνων ταπεινώσεις·
17:28	ὅτι σὺ φωτιεῖς λύχνον μου, Κύριε· ὁ θεός μου, φωτιεῖς τὸ σκότος μου.
17:29	ὅτι ἐν σοὶ ῥυσθήσομαι ἀπὸ πειρατηρίου, καὶ ἐν τῷ θεῷ μου ὑπερβήσομαι τεῖχος.
17:30	ὁ θεός μου, ἄμωμος ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, τὰ λόγια Κυρίου πεπυρωμένα, ὑπερασπιστής ἐστιν πάντων τῶν ἐλπιζόντων ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
17:31	ὅτι τίς θεὸς πλὴν τοῦ κυρίου ; καὶ τίς θεὸς πλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ;
17:32	ὁ θεὸς ὁ περιζωννύων με δύναμιν, καὶ ἔθετο ἄμωμον τὴν ὁδόν μου·
17:33	ὁ καταρτιζόμενος τοὺς πόδας μου ὡς ἐλάφου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἱστῶν με·
17:34	διδάσκων χεῖράς μου εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἔθου τόξον χαλκοῦν τοὺς βραχίονάς μου·
17:35	καὶ ἔδωκάς μοι ὑπερασπισμὸν σωτηρίας μου, καὶ ἡ δεξιά σου ἀντελάβετό μου· καὶ ἡ παιδία σου ἀνώρθωσέν με εἰς τέλος, καὶ ἡ παιδία σου, αὐτὴ με διδάξει.
17:36	ἐπλάτυνας τὰ διαβήματά μου ὑποκάτω μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠσθενησαν τὰ ἴχνη μου.
17:37	καταδιώξω τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου καὶ καταλήμψομαι αὐτούς, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι ἕως ἂν ἐκλίπωσιν·
17:38	ἐκθλίψω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται στῆναι, πεσοῦνται ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας μου.
17:39	καὶ περιέζωσάς με δύναμιν εἰς πόλεμον, συνεπόδισας πάντας τοὺς ἐπανιστανομένους ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ὑποκάτω μου.
17:40	καὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἔδωκάς μοι νῶτον, καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντάς με ἐξωλέθρευσας.
17:41	ἐκέκραξαν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ σώζων· πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν.
17:42	καὶ λεπτυνῶ αὐτοὺς ὡς χνοῦν κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου, ὡς πηλὸν πλατειῶν λεανῶ αὐτούς.
17:43	ῥῦσαί με ἐξ ἀντιλογιῶν λαοῦ, καταστήσεις με εἰς κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν· λαὸς ὃν οὐκ ἔγνων ἐδούλευσέν μοι,
17:44	εἰς ἀκοὴν ὠτίου ὑπήκουσέν μοι· υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐψεύσαντό μοι,
17:45	υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐπαλαιώθησαν καὶ ἐχώλαναν ἀπὸ τῶν τρίβων αὐτῶν.
17:46	ζῇ Κύριος, καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός μου, καὶ ὑψωθήτω ὁ θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου·
17:47	ὁ θεὸς ὁ διδοὺς ἐκδικήσεις ἐμοί, καὶ ὑποτάξας λαοὺς ὑπʼ ἐμέ,
17:48	ὁ ῥύστης μου ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ὀργίλων· ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπανιστανομένων ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ὑψώσεις με, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκου ῥύσῃ με.
17:49	διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν ἔθνεσιν, Κύριε, καὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ·
17:50	μεγαλύνων τὰς σωτηρίας τοῦ βασιλέως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιῶν ἔλεος τῷ χριστῷ αὐτοῦ, τῷ Δαυεὶδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
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).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
