How do you look at the Psalms? How do you look at the Book of Proverbs? (from the Bible - Old Testament)?

Psalms is mostly boring, way too repetitive. I had to finish reading it "joyfully" by studying each verse in each chapter, lol. Imagine what it was like studying each verse in Psalm 119. What a waste of time.

Proverbs is ok (even though it also has redundant verses). But since I enjoy reading proverbs, I don't find it as boring as Psalms.
