1αλληλουιαηγαπηϲα οτι ειϲακουϲεται ο θϲ τηϲ φωνηϲ τηϲ δεηϲεωϲ μου 2οτι εκλινεν το ουϲ αυτου εμοι και εν ταιϲ ημεραιϲ αυτου επεκαλεϲαμην 3περιεϲχον με ωδεινεϲ θανατου κινδυνοι αδου ευροϲαν με θλιψιν και οδυνην ευρον 4και το ονομα κυ επεκαλεϲαμην ω κε ρυϲαι την ψυχην μου 5ελαιημων και δικαιοϲ ο κϲ και κϲ ο θϲ ημων ελεα
1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. 2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6φυλαϲϲων τα νηπια ο κϲ εταπινωθην και εϲωϲεν με 7επιϲτρεψον η ψυχη μου ειϲ την αναπαυϲιν ϲου οτι κϲ ευηργετηϲεν ϲε 8οτι εξειλατο την ψυχην μου εκ θανατου τουϲ οφθαλμουϲ μου απο δακρυω και τουϲ ποδαϲ μου απο ολιϲθηματοϲ 9ευαρεϲτηϲω εναντιον κυ εν χωρα ζωντων
6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. 7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. 8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
