| 72:0 | Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. |
| 72:1 | Ὡς ἀγαθὸς τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ὁ θεός, τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ. |
| 72:2 | ἐμοῦ δὲ παρὰ μικρὸν ἐσαλεύθησαν οἱ πόδες, παρʼ ὀλίγον ἐξεχύθη τὰ διαβήματά μου. |
| 72:3 | ὅτι ἐζήλωσα ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνόμοις, εἰρήνην ἁμαρτωλῶν θεωρῶν· |
| 72:4 | ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνάνευσις ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ στερέωμα ἐν τῇ μάστιγι αὐτῶν· |
| 72:5 | ἐν κόποις ἀνθρώπων οὐκ εἰσίν, καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων οὐ μαστιγωθήσονται. |
| 72:6 | διὰ τοῦτο ἐκράτησεν αὐτοὺς ἡ ὑπερηφανία, περιεβάλοντο ἀδικίαν καὶ ἀσέβειαν αὐτῶν. |
| 72:7 | ἐξελεύσεται ὡς ἐκ στέατος ἡ ἀδικία αὐτῶν, διῆλθον εἰς διάθεσιν καρδίας· |
| 72:8 | δενοήθησαν καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἐν πονηρίᾳ. ἀδικίαν εἰς τὸ ὕψος ἐλάλησαν· |
| 72:9 | ἔθεντο εἰς οὐρανὸν τὸ στόμα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν διῆλθεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| 72:10 | διὰ τοῦτο ἐπιστρέψει ὁ λαός μου ἐνταῦθα, καὶ ἡμέραι πλήρεις εὑρεθήσονται αὐτοῖς, |
| 72:11 | καὶ εἶπαν Πῶς ἔγνω ὁ θεός; |
| 72:12 | ἰδοὺ ἁμαρτωλοὶ καὶ εὐθηνοῦνται καὶ εἰ ἔστιν γνῶσις ἐν τῷ ὑψίστῳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατέσχον πλούτου. |
| 72:13 | καὶ εἶπα Ἀρα ματαίως ἐδικαίωσα τὴν καρδίαν μου. καὶ ἐνιψάμην ἐν ἀθῴοις τὰς χεῖράς μου, |
| 72:14 | καὶ ἐγενόμην μεμαστιγωμένος ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, καὶ ὁ ἔλεγχός μου εἰς τὰς πρωίας. |
| 72:15 | εἰ ἔλεγον Διηγήσομαι οὕτως, ἰδοὺ τῇ γεωεᾷ τῶν υἱῶν σου ἠσυνθέτηκα. |
| 72:16 | καὶ ὑπέλαβον τοῦ γνῶναι· τοῦτο κόπος ἐναντίον μου, |
| 72:17 | ἕως εἰσέλθω εἰς τὸ ἁγιαστήριον τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ συνῶ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα. |
| 72:18 | πλὴν διὰ τὰς δολιότητας ἔθου αὐτοῖς. |
| 72:19 | πῶς ἐγένοντο εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἐξάπινα ἐξέλιπον, ἀπώλοντο διὰ τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν. |
| 72:20 | ὡσεὶ ἐνύπνιον ἐξεγειρομένου, κύριε, ἐν τῇ πόλει σου τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτῶν ἐξουδενώσεις. |
| 72:21 | ὅτι ηὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου, καὶ οἱ νεφροί μου ἠλλοιὼθησαν· |
| 72:22 | καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξουδενωμένος καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων, κτηνώδης ἐγενόμην παρὰ σοί. |
| 72:23 | καὶ ἐγὼ διὰ παντὸς μετὰ σοῦ· ἐκράτησας τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς μου, |
| 72:24 | ἐν τῇ βουλῇ σου ὡδήγησάς με. καὶ μετὰ δόξης προσελάβου με. |
| 72:25 | τί γάρ μοι ὑπάρχει ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ; καὶ παρὰ σοῦ τί ἠθέλησα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς |
| 72:26 | ἐξέλιπεν ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου, ὁ θεὸς τῆς καρδίας μου, καὶ ἡ μερίς μου ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. |
| 72:27 | ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ μακρύνοντες ἑαυτοὺς ἀπὸ σοῦ ἀπολοῦνται· ἐξωλέθρευσας πάντα τὸν πορνεύοντα ἀπὸ σοῦ. |
| 72:28 | ἐμοὶ δὲ τὸ προσκολλᾶσθαι τῷ κυρίῳ ἀγαθόν ἐστιν, τίθεσθαι ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ τὴν ἐλπίδα μου, τοῦ ἐξαγγεῖλαι πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιών. |

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.
