  • Κύριοσ ἀσθενῆ ποιήσει ἀντίδικον αὐτοῦ, Κύριοσ ἅγιοσ. μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ φρόνιμοσ ἐν τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ δυνατὸσ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ πλούσιοσ ἐν τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ̓ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενοσ, συνιεῖν καὶ γινώσκειν τὸν Κύριον καὶ ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν μέσῳ τῆσ γῆσ. Κύριοσ ἀνέβη εἰσ οὐρανοὺσ καὶ ἐβρόντησεν, αὐτὸσ κρινεῖ ἄκρα γῆσ, καὶ δίδωσιν ἰσχὺν τοῖσ βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ ὑψώσει κέρασ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ. (Septuagint, Liber I Samuelis 2:10)

  • ὁ Θεόσ μου φύλαξ μου ἔσται μοι, πεποιθὼσ ἔσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτῷ, ὑπερασπιστήσ μου καὶ κέρασ σωτηρίασ μου, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου καὶ καταφυγή μου σωτηρίασ μου, ἐξ ἀδίκου σώσεισ με. (Septuagint, Liber II Samuelis 22:3)
