| 56:0 | Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρῃς· τῷ Δαυεὶδ εἰς στηλοΣαούλ γραφίαν, εν τῷ αὐτὸν ἀποδιδράσκειν ἀπὸ προσώπου εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον. |
| 56:1 | Ἐλέησόν με, ὁ θεός, ἐλέησόν με· ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθεν ἡ ψυχὴ μου, καὶ ἐν τῇ σκιῷ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιῶ ἕως οὗ παρέλθῃ ἡ ἀνομία. |
| 56:2 | κεκράξομαι πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τὸν ὕψιστον, τὸν θεὸν τὸν εὐεργετήσαντά με. διάψαλμα. |
| 56:3 | ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔσωσέν με, ἔδωκεν εἰς ὄνειδος τοὺς καταπατοῦντάς με· ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ, |
| 56:4 | καὶ ἐρύσατο τὴν ψυχὴν μου ἐκ μέσου σκύμνων. ἐκοιμήθην τεταραγμένος· υἱοὶ ἀνθρώπων, οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὅπλον καὶ βέλη, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν μάχαιρα ὀξεῖα. |
| 56:5 | ὑψώθητι ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανούς, ὁ θεός, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα σου. |
| 56:6 | παγίδας ἡτοίμασαν τοῖς ποσίν μου, καὶ κατέκαμψαν τὴν ψυχήν μου· ὤρυξαν πρὸ προσώπου μου βόθρον, καὶ ἐυέπεσαν εἰς αὐτόν. |
| 56:7 | έτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου. ὁ θεός, ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου, ᾄσομαι καὶ ψαλῶ. |
| 56:8 | ἐξεγέρθητι ἡ δόξα μου. ἐξεγέρθητι, ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάρα· ἐξεγερθήσομαι ὄρθρου. |
| 56:9 | ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν λαοῖς, κύριε. ψαλῶ σοι ἐν ἔθνεσιν· |

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.
