These chapters listed the descendants of David, Judah, and Simeon. Again, a good reference to go back to in order to see where someone belongs.
This psalm explains those that are evil and then praises God for how he provides for the righteous. It ends with a request to protect the righteous from those that have chosen the evil path and to not let evildoers take us away from God.

This section is more genealogy. I noticed today that there are few references to females in the line. I am assuming the ones listed are significant. I know this was the way in that time. Also at the end of chapter 4 it talks of when some of the regions were overtaken and the peoples of those areas were killed so that the new inhabitants could use it. This also seems to be a theme in the bible of one people destroying another for various reason.
The beginning of this psalm speaks of those that are conceited in nature and that don't see their evil ways. It then goes on to speak of God's unending love.
