Psalm 88

Psalm 73
This one is somewhat special to me because I wrote a version of this way back in my early teens. It was interesting to see how far I had come as a writer in the last 45 years or so. "Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure." Ps 73:1

Psalm 41
Even though I'd known that the Psalms were divided into 5 books for most of my life, until I wrote this, I didn't know that the last verse (or so) of the last Psalm of each Book was a doxology. Psalm 41 is the final Psalm of Book 1, ending in a doxology.
