Exegesis
The vocative Kyrie {Κύριε | Kýrie} introduces the imperative boēthei {βοήθει | boḗthei}, conveying urgent plea, with the dative moi {μοι | moi} personalizing the request. The formal translation preserves participial and aspectual nuance, while the dynamic rendering streamlines narrative flow with fidelity to the Greek structure.
