I believe that UBS and NA are giving the enumeration of the Paslm
according to the MT. The LXX enumeration of the Psalms is skewed from
that of the MT because of a difference in opinion over where an certain
Pss begin and end. Ps. 9 and 10 as well as 114 and 115 (MT) appear as
single Pss in the LXX and PS 116 is split into two Pss. That's why
you'll often see a reference set out as Ps. 78 (77 LXX):2.
