Psalm 40: Praise for Deliverance / a song of praise and prayer for help. Starts, "I waited patiently for the LORD."

U2's song "40" (from their 1983 album, War - Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt9Xc4jO-Yc) is a reworking of Psalm 40. It makes a better soft rock song than a psalm tbh.

Psalm 41: A Prayer for Healing. Starts, "Blessed is he that considereth the poor." This is the final psalm in Book One of the Book of Psalms, thus concluding 1 Psalms. Amen and Amen and may the odds be ever in your favor and live long and prosper and don't let the door hitcha where the good lord splitcha.

Psalm 37: The Insecurity of the Wicked. Starts, "Fret not thyself because of evildoers." This psalm is another acrostic spelling out the Hebrew alphabet. Much poesy, very imagination! Query: Why do bad things happen to good people? Answer: Hamburger.

Psalm 38: The Prayer of a Suffering Penitent. Starts, "O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath." This is one of the 7 Penitential Psalms. Guilty conscience leads to paranoia and oh look it's a Republican!

Psalm 39: Hope in the LORD. Starts, "I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue." This psalm was written by Moses the way Disney's Pocahontas is based on actual history.

Psalm 34: Praise for Deliverance from Troubles. Starts, "I will bless the LORD at all times." This is yet another acrostic spelling out the Hebrew alphabet. David says, "I sought the Lord," which clearly influenced the song "I Shot the Sheriff." Plagiarism much? Guardian angels, my ass.

Psalm 35: A Prayer for Rescue from Enemies. Starts, "Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me." Aggressive strings-attached prayers get you nowhere with your neighbors. Maybe stop keeping score and just do nice things for the sake of being a decent citizen.

Psalm 36: The Steadfast Love of God. Starts, "The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart." All dogs _DO_ go to heaven! This pleases us more than it should for people who don't even actually believe in heaven.

Psalm 31: A Profession of Trust. Starts, "In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust." David flees from Saul but stops running so he can turn and face the camera in a breaking-the-fourth-wall song about trusting God.

Psalm 32: The Blessedness of Forgiveness. Starts, "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven." Blessed is ALSO he who goes out and does that crime again, and repents again, and then repeated that sin a third time. Because you can just keep apologizing and God won't hold you accountable.

Psalm 33: Praise to the Creator and Preserver. Starts, "Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous." This was maybe supposed to be a continuation of Psalm 32 but tbh we weren't feeling it. Altho, the same could really be said of ALL the psalms thus far.

A rape victim stands up for herself and is subsequently dubbed Mother of Demons. Lilith is unjustly accused of stealing men's sperm to have an infinite number of babies, while simultaneously, she is judged a murderer of countless newborns. She's both a harpy-like creature AND a vampiric seductress. She is nowhere in the Bible yet permeates Judaic folklore as Adam's first wife. Lilith is the original "bad girl" as well as the first ultimate feminist icon. Lilith is the personification of the song "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks, in that she's "a little bit of everything, all rolled into one."

Psalm 28: A Prayer for Help and Praise for Its Answer. Starts, "Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock." You don't get points for following the law if you find a way to skirt around it. Cheating is cheating. Intention matters.

Psalm 29: The Voice of the LORD in the Storm. Starts, "Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty." This psalm is old af. That is all.

Psalm 30: Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death. Starts, "I will extol thee, O LORD;

for thou hast lifted me up." Something something Gangsters Paradise mumble mumble Carol Burnett blah blah blah Wife is still singing.

Psalm 25: A Prayer for Guidance, Pardon and Protection. Starts, "Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul." The psalm has the form of an acrostic Hebrew poem, in which each line starts with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Imagine if Christians today took education this seriously, instead of banning books... what a wonderful world it would be!

Psalm 26: A Protestation of Integrity. Starts, "Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity." The more you talk about your own integrity, the more you come across as lacking it. Actions speak a lot louder than words, and anyway if (as Christians often claim) God already knows your heart, he knows what kind of person you are, rendering your words pointless at best, and false at worst.

Psalm 27: The LORD Is My Light and My Salvation. Starts, "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" It is thought by some that this may be a sequel to the preceding psalm. Courage isn't the lack of fear; courage is facing your fear and doing the scary thing anyway.

Psalm 22: A Cry of Anguish and Song of Praise, or the hind of the dawn, starts out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" This psalm is about a person crying out to God to save him and then thanking God for rescuing him. The opening line is what Jesus shrieks to his daddo as God allows Jesus to be murdered. Not God's finest hour tbh.

Psalm 23: The LORD Is My Shepherd, or the Shepherd's Psalm, starts out, "The Lord is my shepherd." This is the most famous psalm and seems to be everyone's favorite even tho it's usually delivered at funerals which makes it a tad creepy. Sometimes people sing it to the tune of "Amazing Grace" but yeah no, it's still creepy.

Psalm 24: The King of Glory, starts out, "The earth is the LORD's,

and the fulness thereof." David wrote this psalm for a car insurance commercial.
