Greek of the New Testament: διότι καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει Οὐ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν
Hebrew (Masoretic text): כִּי לֹא תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹא תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָׁחַת
Septuagint (Psalms 15:10 in the Septuagint numbering): ὅτι οὐκ ἐνκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχὴν μου εἰς ἅδην, οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν.
The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 6 consecutive words: “δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν.”
