David wrote most of the psalms, Israel’s Hymnbook. Many of the Psalms are Messianic and have prophecies about the coming Messiah and his kingdom. The word covenant is mentioned 21 times in the Psalms (KJV)
David’s sufferings as recorded in the Psalms are prophetic of Messiah who is the sone of David. The Psalms have many references to the kingdom and the nations rejoicing, praising, and worshipping the God of Israel.
Praise and Worship is emphasized in the Psalms, and the nations are invited to join in the worship of the true God.
Jerusalem and Zion are types of the Kingdom of God. The word Glory is mentioned 53 times in the Psalms (KJV). The word covenant 21 times (KJV) in the Psalms. Psalm 41:9 mentions the covenant betrayal of Christ.
