Guess the Psalm

OK, so I know it's a tiny bunch of people who read this blog, but here's something for entertainment. I am posting 5 different verses from 5 different Psalms, and they're from "The Message" one of the most terrifyingly hilarious translations ever.

Without googling, guess what Psalm the verse might be from - (I've only chosen from the first 25 Psalms) Each verse is from a different Psalm. Extra credit for which verse it might be:

1: An easy one
God's Word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond set between emeralds. You'll like it better than strawberries in spring, better than red, ripe strawberries.

2: Not so easy
Please, God, no more yelling, no more trips to the woodshed. Treat me nice for a change; I'm so starved for affection.

3: I promise, its a verse:
How well God must like you— you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.

4: Think a little
See those people polishing their chariots, and those others grooming their horses?
But we're making garlands for God our God.The chariots will rust, those horses pull up lame— and we'll be on our feet, standing tall.

5: One last one, maybe I'm being a little tricky here
True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.
