Order of the Psalms
by Ben
I read Psalm 84-89.
I'm reading through the Psalms using a guide: "How to Read the Bible Book by Book." It is pretty neat. It frames the Psalms into categories or sections. Each section focuses on different things. Specifically, Book 3 of the Psalms addresses the question of "How long?" - meaning how long must Israel wait for God to return His favor to them. Yet, this particular section is infused with moments of celebration.
As I read through the Psalms, I am becoming continually more interested in why they were placed in their specific order. More on this as I learn more.

My friend Kathy (the one who answered the Chronicles/Kings question) has a thing which groups the Psalms by type, lots of different categories. Is this the same kind of deal as what you have?
Something like that. You read them in order, but they group a few at a time based on overall themes.
