The Book of Psalms is divided into five parts, possibly corresponding to the first five books of the Bible, with the division indicated by the word "amen". The first part is from Psalm 1 to 41 and relates to Genesis, e.g. the first Psalm reveals the character of those who will live in paradise restored.
