Exegesis

Ledavid {לְדָוִֽד | lə-ḏā-wiḏ} ‘of David’ adds attribution, which in Hebrew can indicate authorship, association, or placement within a Davidic collection. Because the Hebrew functions as a title line rather than a full sentence, the English preserves concise heading style with brief title punctuation.
