I am not sure that there is much to say about today's passage as it is really just a genealogy that shows us the line from Shem to Abram, which is the line that will be focused on now. They still seem to live long lives, but not as long as before the flood, not sure what the indication of that might be.
Today's Psalm serves a reminder that we can and should repent for our sins and asking God to remove evil from our lives. It also shows us that he is listening to our prayers and working in our lives. Although, we do need to remember that is probably not going to be immediate.

I wonder if this is one of those out of order chapters. Cuz yes it seems they are long lived yet we just read life spans were being shortened. I’m sure there is a reason they include the genealogy but not sure why it’s important.
The psalm to me seems like another related to grief. There’s a part that says “I am worn out from my groaning”, but I also thought maybe they had been complaining instead? It felt like it could be either. But also like they are going thru the trials of life. It does seem to say turn to God in every situation.
