| 87:0 | Ὠδὴ ψαλμοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κόρε· εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὐπὲρ μαελέθ τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι· συνέσεως Αἱμὰν τῷ Ἰσραηλείτη. |
| 87:1 | Κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου. ἡμέρας ἐκέκραξα καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ἐναντίον σου· |
| 87:2 | εἰσελθέτω ἐνώπιόν σου ἡ προσευχή μου. κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου εἰς τὴν δέησίν μου, Κύριε. |
| 87:3 | ὅτι ἐπλήσθη κακῶν ἡ ψυχή μου. καὶ ἡ ζωή μου τῷ ᾄδῃ ἤγγισεν. |
| 87:4 | προσελογίσθην μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς λάκκον, ἐγενήθην ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀβοήθητος, |
| 87:5 | ἐν νεκροῖς ἐλεύθερος· ὡσεὶ τραυματίαι ἐρριμμένοι καθεύδοντες ἐν τάφῳ, ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθης ἔτι, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἀπώσθησαν· |
| 87:6 | ἔθεντό με ἐν λάκκῳ κατωτάτῳ, ἐν σκοτεινοῖς καὶ ἐν σκιᾷ θανάτου. |
| 87:7 | ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐπεστηρίχθη ὁ θυμός σου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς μετεαορισμοὺς σου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐπήγαγες. διάψαλμα. |
| 87:8 | ἐμάκρυνας τοὺς γνωστούς μου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, ἔθεντό με βδέλυγμα ἑαυτοῖς· παρεδόθην καὶ οὐκ ἐξεπορευόμην. |
| 87:9 | οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἠσθένησαν ἀπὸ πτωχείας· καὶ ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, Κύριε, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν. διεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου· |
| 87:10 | μὴ τοῖς νεκροῖς ποιήσεις θαυμάσια; ἢ ἰατροὶ ἀναστήσουσιν καὶ ἐξομολογήσονταί σοι; |
| 87:11 | μὴ διηγήσεταί τις ἐν τάφῳ τὸ ἔλεός σου, καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν τῇ ἀπωλίᾳ ; |
| 87:12 | μὴ γνωσθήσεται ἐν τῷ σκότει τὰ θαυμάσιά σου, καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου ἐν γῇ ἐπιλελησμένῃ; |
| 87:13 | κἀγώ, Κύριε, πρὸς σέ ἐκέκραξα, καὶ τὸ πρωὶ ἡ προσευχὴ μου προφθάσει σε. |
| 87:14 | ἵνα τί, Κύριε, ἀπωθεῖς τὴν προσευχὴν μου. ἀποστρέφεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ; |
| 87:15 | πτωχός εἰμι ἐγὼ καὶ ἐν κόποις ἐκ νεότητός μου, ὑψωθεὶς δὲ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐξηπορήθην. |
| 87:16 | ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ διῆλθον αἱ ὀργαί σου, καὶ οἱ φοβερισμοί σου ἐτάραξάν με. |
| 87:17 | ἐκύκλωσάν με ὡς ὕδωρ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν. περιέσχον με ἄμα. |
| 87:18 | ἐμάκρυνας ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ φίλον καὶ τοὺς γνωστοὺς μου ἀπὸ ταλαιπαωρίας. |

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.
