Exegesis
mizmor {מִזְמ֥וֹר | mizmôr} ‘psalm’ identifies the piece as a musical composition, and leDavid {לְדָוִֽד | lədāwid} ‘of David’ supplies Davidic attribution, most naturally authorship or association within the Davidic collection. The sequence moves from performance setting to genre to attributed figure, creating a title-card effect before the body of the psalm. English represents that compact nominal structure with two short sentences to preserve the superscription’s heading function.
