When you pull back and see the entire collection, I think it's much more analogous to like a really good playlist. Most scholars would say that there has been an intentional editorial shaping of the collection. Psalm 1 sort of sets the tone, it's the lenses through which you're to view the entire collection. And at the end, you've got this conclusion that has been placed there. It's a crescendo of praise.
