The first Psalm has been understood as an introduction to the book of Psalms. In it, the "righteous" and the "wicked" are contrasted. How are they described? What metaphors are used to contrast them? What will happen to them? What role will the LORD play in their lives?
The last Psalm (150) is, therefore, understood as a conclusion to the book of Psalms. After reading that Psalm, answer—in one sentence—how the book of Psalms ends.
Psalm 22 is an example of one of the Psalms of Lament. The different steps in a Psalm of Lament are included in Ps 22, but are also described in chapter 5 of A Compact Guide. Using those as your template, write your own lament (i.e. how will you address God? What complaints do you have? What do you want God to do? What are your reasons for hope? What will you do/say when your situation of lament is reversed?).
Read through Psalms 145-147, and identify as many reasons as you can in those psalms why God is to be praised. (Look for words like "for", or for descriptions of what God has done).
Read through Psalm 148, and make a list of as many subjects as possible who are to praise God.
