Abstract

This article is an attempt to understand the concept 'berit' in Psalm 74:20. Several possibilities regarding its significance and content were discussed by various biblical scholars. The vague reference to 'berit' makes a convincing solution in this regard very difficult. A combination of allusions and motives in the Psalm which coincide with aspects of the Yahweh-David 'berit', strengthens the assumption that J1"':l~ ~:l;' (v 20) alludes to the loyalty and faithfulness of Yahweh which he promised in the 'berit' with his servant David.
