Psalms 1-3

These chapters do not seem to be related to each other in any way.  I guess the Psalms are simply a compilation of what came to be used in temple services and religious gatherings.  Not that they were gathered in some haphazard way.  One thing to note is how some of them are actually prophetic in nature, like Psalm 2.  The people who sang them probably were thinking of something else when they were singing it.  Still others, like Psalm 3, provides a sort of alternate history, taking one inside the heart of the person involved in that particular time in history.
