to David (the Beloved One)

Rootדוד (d-w-d)
Core Meaningslove, affection, belovedness
Semantic RangeDavid, son of Jesse; the Davidic king; attribution or dedication to David; belonging to or concerning David.
Conceptual SignificanceDavid stands as the paradigmatic beloved king of Israel, recipient of the enduring covenant promise (2 Samuel 7). His name, rooted in "belovedness," underscores themes of covenant love, chosen kingship, and messianic expectation tied to the Davidic line.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for/of") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). Occurs frequently in psalm superscriptions indicating authorship, dedication, or association.
Rendering RationaleThe name דָּוִד derives from the root דוד, conveying the idea of love or belovedness. The prefixed לְ indicates direction, possession, or dedication (“to/for/of”), and the proper noun is masculine singular. "To David (the Beloved One)" preserves both the root sense of belovedness and the grammatical form of a singular masculine proper name with prefixed preposition.
