Over a third of the psalms in the book are praise psalms. Corporate psalms typically begin with an imperative call to praise (e.g., \u201cshout to the LORD\u201d) and describe all the good things the Lord has done. Individual praise often begins with a proclamation of intent to praise (e.g., \u201cI will praise you, O LORD\u201d) and declare what God has done in a particular situation in the psalmist\u2019s life. The God of Israel is to be praised for His work in nature (Psalm 19:1; 89:5; 148:3), His deliverance of His people (Psalm 18:10; 111:9), and His wonderful attributes, such as lovingkindness and patience (Psalm 89:13\u201314; 130:7).<br \/>\n9.6\tSongs: Psalms of Thanksgiving 30, 103, 104, 107, 117, 118, 136, 138, 139,<br \/>\n9.7\tSongs: Declaring confidence in God  23, 27, 28, 37, 42, 46, 56, 145<br \/>\n9.8\tSongs: Liturgical Psalms<br \/>\nPsalms playing a part in the religious life \/ the cult of Israel.
