Here's another long rehearsal of the promises to David (20-38) and one of the great laments (39-52). And it is the end of Book 3 of the Psalms, so verse 53 is a doxology. (And it was, even with all my tools, difficult to write, and so is also difficult to read. A book on the prosody of the Psalms without the benefit of good performances would be painful! No performance available for these versions of Psalms 89 or 78.) No comments on recurrence here, but it is still a factor. Kindness occurs 7 times. You can search for the others. There is no substitute for the work of reading. Note the sandwich structure of the pronouns (you/your, I/my, you/your).
