Selection of psalms

Today I finished reading the book of Psalms. I started reading the Bible from cover to cover in Lent 2006 and I should finish by next Easter. So far I have read the New Testament and I am now starting on the book of Proverbs.

Having read the psalms, I'd like to note down the ones I found most useful and relevant at first reading. These are:
psalm 1 The two ways
psalm 23 The Good Shepherd
psalm 27 In God's company there is no fear
psalm 32 Candid admission of sin
psalm 49 The futility of riches
psalm 51 Miserere
psalm 52 The fate of cynics
psalm 90 The human condition
psalm 102 Prayer in misfortune
psalm 103 God is love
psalm 112 In praise of the virtuous
psalm 119 In praise of the divine Law
psalm 130 From the depths
psalm 131 Childlike trust in God
psalm 133 Brotherly love
psalm 138 Hymn of thanksgiving
psalm 141 Against the attractions of evil
psalm 146 Hymn to the God of help
