Licence: public domain — the traditional Coptic liturgical and scriptural text of a church-published book is public domain, whoever typeset the copy (ruling CHB-1, Yousef 2026-10-09: "that is true of all church published documents", extending KAT-1); source copy copticbook.wordpress.com, the Kiahk Psalmody revised by the Monastery of the Syrians (Deir al-Suryān); the publisher's typesetting (the page images) is not reproduced and the matter it added (introductions, notes, compositions by a named modern author, its own English and Arabic translations) is not served here — this document carries the printed Coptic lines only; the publisher states no terms (internal-unstated until CHB-1; LICENCES.md §12.6)

Full provenance and citation

The layers have different numbers of lines, so they are lined up page by page, and within a page line by line by letter similarity; a line one layer has and another lacks (the Cairene layer leaves out lines that are not Coptic) gets an empty cell.

English: quoted translations are shown as they are, with their credit in the provenance; lines marked draft are language-model drafts made for this project (to be corrected), and alignment unchecked marks a quoted verse whose placement was not cross-checked. Check the Coptic before relying on any English line.
