Exegesis
mizmor {מִזְמ֥וֹר | mizmôr} ‘psalm’ then identifies the genre as a musical composition, and ledavid {לְדָוִֽד | lədāwid} ‘of David’ closes the heading with Davidic attribution. The sequence moves from destination, to genre, to authorial association, which is typical of Hebrew psalm titles. English preserves the terse nominal style with short heading phrases rather than recasting the line as a full sentence.
