There are many psalms of many flavors.  They offer comfort, they exhort praise, they give you insight into the mind of someone who was going through troubles that may be similar to something you are going through, or have gone through.

Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers, who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows, shooting from concealed places at the innocent.  They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.  They encourage each other in an evil plan;

- Psalm 64:2-5a

In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me.  “Lord, deliver me from lying lips
and a deceitful tongue.”

- Psalm 120:1-2

I lift my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.  Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand, like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand, so our eyes are on the Lord our God until He shows us favor.  Show us favor, Lord, show us favor, for we’ve had more than enough contempt.  We’ve had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.

- Psalm 123

How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!  It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard onto his robes.  It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion.  For there the Lord has appointed the blessing — life forevermore.

- Psalm 133
