OET-LVjust_as also Dawid/(Dāvid) is_saying the blessing of_the person to_whom the god is_counting righteousness apart_from works:

SR-GNTκαθάπερ καὶ Δαυὶδ λέγει τὸν μακαρισμὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ˚Θεὸς λογίζεται δικαιοσύνην χωρὶς ἔργων:
   (kathaper kai Dawid legei ton makarismon tou anthrōpou ho ˚Theos logizetai dikaiosunaʸn ⱪōris ergōn:)
