The Greek text of Psalms 151 is copied from <a href="https://www.ellopos.net/elpenor/greek-texts/septuagint/chapter.asp?book=24&page=150">Éllopos</a>. The verse numbering for Psalms 151 in the Septuagint differs from the verse numbering of its Hebrew translation by Avraham Kahana. A secondary English translation of Kahana's Hebrew was made by Isaac Gantwerk Mayer. (Thank you!) His translation was first published to the <a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Psalm_151?lang=en">Sefaria Project</a>.
