88:0	Συνέσεως Αἰθὰν τῷ Ἰσραηλείτῃ.
88:1	Τὰ ἐλέη σου, Κύριε, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ᾄσομαι, εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν ἀπαγγελῶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν τῷ στόματί μου.
88:2	ὅτι εἶπας Εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔλεος οἰκοδομηθήσεται, ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ἑτοιμασθήσεται ἡ ἀλήθειά σου·
88:3	διεθέμην διαθήκην τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς μου. ὤμοσα Δαυεὶδ τῷ δούλῳ μου
88:4	Ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος ἑτοιμάσω τὸ σπέρμα σου. καὶ οἰκοδομήσω εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν τὸν θρόνον σου. διάφαλμα.
88:5	ἐξομολογήσονται οἱ οὐρανοὶ τὰ θαυμάσιά σου, Κύριε, καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ ἁγίων.
88:6	ὅτι τίς ἐν νεφέλαις ἰσωθήσεται τῷ κυρίῳ ; καὶ τίς ὁμοιωθήσεται τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν υἱοῖς θεοὺ ;
88:7	ὁ θεὸς ἐνδοξαζόμενος ἐν βουλῇ ἁγίων. μέγας καὶ φοβερὸς ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς περικυκλῶ αὐτοῦ.
88:8	Κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, τίς ὅμοιός σος ; δυνατὸς εἶ, Κύριε, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά σου κύκλῳ σου.
88:9	σὺ δεσπόζεις τοῦ κράτους τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ τὸν σάλον τῶν κυμάτων αὐτῆς σὺ καταπραύνεις.
88:10	σὺ ἐταπείνωσας ὡς τραυματίαν ὑπερήφανον, καὶ ἐν τῷ βραχίονι τῆς δυνάμεως σου διεσκόρπισας τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου.
88:11	σοί εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ σή ἐστιν ἡ γῆ· τὴν οἰκουμένην καὶ τὸ πλήραωμα αὐτῆς σὺ ἐθεμελίωσας.
88:12	τὸν βορρᾶν καὶ θαλάσσας σὺ ἔκτισας, Θαβὼρ καὶ Ἑρμωνιεὶμ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται.
88:13	σὸς ὁ βραχίων μετὰ δυναστείας· κραταιωθήτω ἡ χείρ σου, ὑψωθήτω ἡ δεξιά σου.
88:14	δικαιοσύνη καὶ κρίμα ἑτοιμασία τοῦ θρόνου σου· ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια προπορεύσεται πρὸ προσώπου σου.
88:15	μακάριος ὁ λαὸς ὁ γινώσκων ἀλαλαγμόν· Κύριε, ἐν τῷ φωτὶ τοῦ προσώπου σου πορεύσονται,
88:16	καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀγαλλιάσονται ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, καὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ὑψωθήσονται.
88:17	ὅτι τὸ καύχημα τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν εἶ σύ, καὶ ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου ὑψωθήσεται τὸ κέρας ἡμῶν.
88:18	ὅτι τοῦ κυρίου ἡ ἀντίλημψις, καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Ἰσραὴλ βασιλέως ἡμῶν.
88:19	τότε ἐλάλησας ἐν ὁράσει τοῖς υἱοῖς σου, καὶ εἶπας Ἐθέμην βοήθειαν ἐπὶ δυνατόν, ὕψωσα ἐκλεκτὸν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ μου·
88:20	εὗρον Δαυεὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου, ἐν ἐλέει ἁγίῳ ἔχρισα αὐτόν.
88:21	ἡ γὰρ χείρ μου συναντιλήμψεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ βραχίων μου κατισχύσει αὐτόν·
88:22	οὐκ ὠφελήσει ἐχθρὸς ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ υἱὸς ἀνομίας οὐ προσθήσει τοῦ κακῶσαι αὐτόν·
88:23	καὶ συγκόψω τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντας αὐτὸν τροπώσομαι.
88:24	καὶ ἡ ἀλήθειά μου καὶ τὸ ἔλεός μου μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου ὑψωθήσεται τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ·
88:25	καὶ θήσομαι ἐν θαλάσσῃ χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ποταμοῖς δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ.
88:26	αὐτὸς ἐπικαλέσεταί με ΙΙατὴρ μου εἶ σύ, θεός μου καὶ ἀντιλήμπτωρ τῆς σωτηρίας μου·
88:27	κἀγὼ πρωτότοκον θήσομαι αὐτόν, ὑψηλὸν παρὰ τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν τῆς γῆς.
88:28	εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα φυλάξω αὐτῷ τὸ ἔλεός μου, καὶ ἡ διαθήκη μου πιστὴ αὐτῷ·
88:29	καὶ θήσομαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ὡς τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
88:30	ἐὰν ἐγκαταλίπωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν νόμον μου, καὶ τοῖς κρίμασίν μου μὴ πορευθῶσιν·
88:31	ἐὰν τὰ δικαιώματά μου βεβηλώσουσιν, καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου μὴ φυλάξωσιν·
88:32	ἐπισκέψομαι ἐν ῥάβδῳ ἀνομίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν μάστιξιν τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
88:33	τὸ δὲ ἔλεός μου οὐ μὴ διασκεδάσω ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ μὴ ἀδικήσω ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μου,
88:34	οὑδὲ μὴ βεβηλώσω τὴν διαθήκην μου, καὶ τὰ ἐκπορευόμενα διὰ τῶν χειλέων μου οὐ μὴ ἀθετήσω.
88:35	ἅπαξ ὤμοσα ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ μου, εἰ τῷ Δαυεὶδ ψεύσομαι·
88:36	τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μενεῖ, καὶ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ ἤλιος ἐναντίον μου,
88:37	καὶ ὡς ἡ σελήνη κατηρτισμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ὁ μάρτυς ἐν οὐρανῷ πιστός. διάψαλμα.
88:38	σὺ δὲ ἀπώσω καὶ ἐξουδένωσας, ἀνεβάλου τὸν χριστόν σου·
88:39	κατέστρεψας τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ δούλου σου, ἐβεβήλωσας εἰς τὴν γῆν τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ.
88:40	καθεῖλες πάντας τοὺς φραγμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἔθου τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτοῦ δειλίαν·
88:41	διήρπασαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ διοδεύοντες ὁδόν, ἐγενήθη ὄνειδος τοῖς γείτοσιν αὐτοῦ.
88:42	ὕψωσας τὴν δεξιὰν τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, εὔφρανας πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ·
88:43	ἀπέστρεψας τὴν βοήθειαν τῆς ῥομφαίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀντελάβου αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
88:44	κατέλυσας ἀπὸ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτόν, τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν κατέρραξας·
88:45	ἐσμίκρυνας τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, κατέχεας αὐτοῦ αἰσχύνην.
88:46	ἕως πότε, Κύριε, ἀποστρέψεις εἰς τέλος; ἐκκαυθήσεται ὡς πῦρ ἡ ὀργή σου ;
88:48	τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ζήσεται καὶ οὐκ ὄψεται θάνατον; ῥύσεται τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς ἅδαυ ; διάφαλμα.
88:49	ποῦ ἐστιν τὰ ἐλέη σου τὰ ἀρχαῖα, Κύριε, ἃ ὤμοσας τῷ Δαυεὶδ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου;
88:50	μνήσθητι, Κύριε, τοῦ ὀνειδισμοῦ τῶν δούλων σου, οὖ ὑπέσχου ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ μου πολλῶν ἐθνῶν·
88:51	οὖ ὠνείδισαν οἱ ἐχθροί σου, Κύριε, οὗ ὠνείδισαν τὸ ἀντάλλαγμα τοῦ χριστοῦ σου.
88:52	εὐλογητὸς Κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. γένοιτο, γένοιτο.
88:83	μνήσθητι τίς μου ἡ ὑπόστασις· διάψαλμα. μὴ γὰρ ματαίως ἔκτισας πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀυθρώπων

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.
