Psalms

Tomorrow we leave the Psalms.  Wouldn't you love to know the what the tunes "Lillies" and "Do Not Destroy" sounded like?
Walter Brueggemann classifies the Psalms one of three ways: songs of orientation (our place in the universe with respect to God), songs of disorientation (how we've lost our place in the universe with respect to God), and songs of reorientation (reordering our place in the universe with respect to God).
What I've noticed: the word "I" is used a lot, as it is more often in contemporary worship songs.
Some of my favorite verses/Psalms:
16.33
38
42.7
65.9
69.30-31
90.3-4
96
104
111.10
118.32
118.105
132.4-5
What are yours?
