Köln IV 168, a small sixth-century Greek papyrus preserving part of Psalm 16:6–7 in the Septuagint, corresponding to Psalm 17:6–7 in most English Bibles. The passage is a deeply personal prayer asking God to hear, answer, and show His steadfast mercy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surviving words center on David’s prayer in Psalm 17:6-7:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Incline Your ear to me… show Your marvelous mercy.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its small size, this fragment is especially significant. Scholar Cornelia Römer identified it as the only known papyrus witness to this specific portion of the Psalm at the time of publication, giving it unusual textual importance. Later scholarship has also suggested that the fragment may have functioned as a personal devotional text or amulet, offering a rare glimpse into how Scripture could be used in the daily spiritual life of Christians in late antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManuscript Details\u003cbr\u003e•    Manuscript: P.
