Psalms of the Davidic Covenant

Psalms of the Davidic Covenant

Read the Davidic Covenant in 2 Samuel 7:11b-16. Unlike the conditional Mosaic covenant, God’s promises to David have no conditions. It contains a conditional element in that wrong actions will have consequences that no even a king can escape, but God’s relationship with teh people, mediated through the reigning king of David’s lineage—“the anointed one”—is based solely on God’s grace.

Examples: Psalms 78, 132, and 89
