===Individual thanksgiving psalms=== In individual thanksgiving psalms, the opposite of individual laments, the psalmist thanks God for deliverance from personal distress.{{sfn|Day|2003|p=12}} In addition to these five major genres, Gunkel also recognised a number of minor psalm-types, including: * communal thanksgiving psalms, in which the whole nation thanks God for deliverance; * wisdom psalms, reflecting the Old Testament [[wisdom literature]]; * pilgrimage psalms, sung by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem; * entrance and prophetic liturgies; and * a group of mixed psalms which could not be assigned to any category.{{sfn|Day|2003|p=13}}
