Al,
The Hebrew לְדָוִד [L:DfWiD] is ambiguous as it is, meaning that a
Psalm with this attribution could be either "by David" or "for/to
David."
Does the LXX translate this title in different ways, at times as TOU
DAUID (τοῦ Δαυίδ) and at times as TWi DAUID (τῷ Δαυίδ)? Meaning, not
within a given context but only as part of the title of a Psalm?
Thanks,
Jason Hare
Rehovot, Israel
