An examination of the relationship between the Davidic covenant and
Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants reflected in the editorial shape and
shaping of the Masoretic Psalter. Hensley proposes that the editors
of the Psalter understood these covenants as a theological unity,
whose common fulfilment centres on an anticipated royal successor
to David. To test this hypothesis Hensley examines the Psalter's
references and allusions to covenant(s) in light of editorial
evidence. The book is split into three parts. Part I reassesses
different kinds of editorial evidence, their implications, and
their utility for discerning editorial intent. It also re-evaluates
the Qumran Psalms Hypothesis championed by Sanders, Wilson, and
others. Part II engages in extensive survey work on references and
allusions to covenant(s) in the Psalter, assessing the extent to
which they gravitate around David. Hensley traces phraseological
and intertextual allusions to covenant promises and obligations,
providing the first survey of its kind on the subject of covenant
in the Psalter. Part III then investigates a strong allusion to the
Abrahamic covenantal promises in Ps 72:17 in the context of Book II
of the Psalter, and the Psalter's fullest echoes of the "grace
formula" (Exod 34:6) in Psalm 86:15, 103:8, and 145:8 in the
contexts of Books III, IV, and V respectively. Hensley shows that
rather than the Davidic covenantal promises being "democratized,"
the promises and obligations of the pre-monarchic covenants are
consistently "royalized" throughout the Psalter and its books,
depicting the anticipated Davidic figure as a Moses-like
intercessor and mediator of covenant renewal, and the leader of a
"new song" for a "new exodus."
