  Be reverent toward God (5-6)
  Pray about the things that God has done for you and others (7-25)
  Remember the results of treating God sinfully (26)
  Know that God will recompense evil (vengeance belongs to Him, 27)
  There is a place for repetition in prayer (28-30); Appeal to God carefully (31-37)
