"All based on the covenant relationship with God.
Without the covenant, they would be meaningless.
Particularly in the laments, the pleas are on the basis of the covenant.
The most important word to understand in this context is: chesed
hard to translate: (KJV “lovingkindness” or “mercy” are poor translations)
faithful-love,
loyal-love
love that will never let you down and never give up on you but will hang on to the end
It is possibly the most beautiful word in any human language
It is a fundamental theme of the Psalms and the main thing God is praised for"
