Psalm 141 (Septuagint) = Psalm 142 (KJV)
Introduction
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
- Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 126.
- Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
- English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 141. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 142. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verse 1; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 1 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. 2I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. 4I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
6προϲ ϲε κε εκεκραξα και ειπα ϲυ ει η ελπιϲ μου μεριϲ μου εν γη ζωντων 7προϲχεϲ προϲ την δεηϲιν μου οτι εταπινωθην ϲφοδρα ρυϲαι με εκ των καταδιωκοντων με οτι εκραταιωθηϲαν υπερ εμε 8εξαγαγε εκ φυλακηϲ την ψυχην μου του εξομολογηϲαϲθαι τω ονοματι ϲου κε εμε ϋπομενουϲι δικαιοι εωϲ ου ανταποδωϲ μοι
5I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. 6Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
