| 37:0 | Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυείδ· εἰς ἀνάμνησιν περὶ σαββάτου. |
| 37:1 | Κύριε. μὴ τῷ θυμῷ σου ἐλέγξῃς με. μηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς με. |
| 37:2 | ὅτι τὰ βέλη σου ἐνεπάγησάν μοι, καὶ ἐπεστήρισας ἐπʼ ἐμέ τὴν χεῖρά σου· |
| 37:3 | καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ὀργῆς σου, οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τοῖς ὀστέοις μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου. |
| 37:4 | ὅτι αἱ ἀνομίαι μου ὑπερῆραν τὴν κεφαλὴν μου. ὡσεὶ φορτίον βαρὺ ἐβαρύνθησαν ἐπʼ ἐμέ. |
| 37:5 | προσώζεσαν καὶ ἐσάπησαν οἱ μώλωπές μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ἀφροσύνης μου· |
| 37:6 | ἐταλαιπώρησα καὶ κατεκάμφθην ἕως τέλους, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν σκυθρωπάζων ἐπορευόμην· |
| 37:7 | ὅτι ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπλήσθη ἐνπαιγμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου. |
| 37:8 | ἐκακώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα, ὠρυόμην ἀπὸ στεναγμοῦ τῆς καρδίας μου. |
| 37:9 | καὶ ἐναντίον σου πᾶσα ἡ ἐπιθυμία μου, καὶ ὁ στεναγμός μου οὐκ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ σοῦ. |
| 37:10 | ἡ καρδία μου ἐταράχθη, ἐνκατέλιπέν με ἡ ἰσχύς μου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου οὐκ ἔστιν μετʼ ἐμοῦ. |
| 37:11 | οἱ φίλοι μου καὶ οἱ πλησίον μου ἐξ ἐναντίας μου ἤγγισαν καὶ ἔστησαν, καὶ οἱ ἔγγιστά μου μακρόθεν ἔστησαν· |
| 37:12 | καὶ ἐξεβιάσαντο οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχὴν μου. καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι ἐλάλησαν ματαιότητας, καὶ δολιότητας ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐμελέτησαν. |
| 37:13 | ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ κωφὸς οὐκ ἤκουον, καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄλαλος οὐκ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ· |
| 37:14 | καὶ ἐγενόμην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἀκούων καὶ οὐκ ἔχων ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ ἐλεγμούς. |
| 37:15 | ἰτι ἐπὶ σὲ ἤλπισα, Κύριε· σὺ εἰσακούσῃ, κύριε ὁ θεός μου. |
| 37:16 | ὅτι εἶπα Μή ποτε ἐπιχαρῶσίν μοι οἱ ἐχθροί μου, καὶ ἐν τῷ σαλευθῆναι πόδας μου ἐπʼ ἐμέ ἐμεγαλορημονησαν. |
| 37:17 | ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς μάστιγας ἕτοιμος, καὶ ἡ ἀλγηδών μου ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός. |
| 37:18 | ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἀναγγελῶ, καὶ μεριμνήσω ὑπέρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου. |
| 37:19 | οἱ δὲ ἐχθροί μου ζῶσιν καὶ κεκραταίωνται ὑπέρ ἐμέ, καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ μισοῦντές με ἀδίκως· |
| 37:20 | οἱ ἀνταποδιδόντες κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐπεὶ κατεδίωκον δικαιοσύνην. |
| 37:21 | μὴ ἐνκαταλίπῃς με, Κύριε· ὁ θεός μου. μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· |
| 37:22 | πρόσχες εἰς τὴν βοήθειάν μου, κύριε τῆς σωτηρίας μου. |

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.
