Exegesis
ledavid {לְדָוִֽד | lədāwid} ‘of David/by David’ is syntactically brief and can denote authorship, association, or dedication; the formal rendering preserves that breadth with “of David,” while the dynamic rendering gives the likely sense “by David.” The sequence moves from liturgical use to literary type to Davidic connection, which is a standard pattern in Psalm superscriptions.
