["Peter Kirk" <Peter_Kirk AT sil.org>]

In the context, this is surely a case of the objective genitive which
Søren mentions i.e. God is faithful/loving/committed towards David. NRSV
gets the direction correct with "my steadfast, sure love for David",
although I am not so sure that "love" is appropriate.
