Way To Find All Psalms That Are Not Prayers?

I'm attempting to create a reading plan that separates out only the prayers in the Psalms. I know the first two Psalms are not prayers, but more akin to wisdom literature.

Does anyone know a way in Logos for me to find all the non-prayer Psalms? I figure it would have to have something to do with speaker labels possibly. Speech directed to God probably.

Thanks for the help!

Does the Psalms Explorer tool provide you enough insight?

My Jewish sources all consider the entire collection to be prayers although some are emphasized by their use on the Sabbath Psalm-System-for-Shabbat-Readings-Isaac-Gantwerk-Mayer-2022.pdf (opensiddur.org)

Many of the churches that have an office of prayer, consider all 150 (or more) psalms to be prayers and have for two thousand years. So, can be begin with a definition of what you are actually looking for? perhaps, psalms that are not explicitly addressed to God? psalms that are neither petitionary nor praise?

Yes MJ. In particular I'm referring to Psalms that are not directed toward God.

Thanks all for the Psalm Explorer suggestion. I'll look in to it and see if it gives some direction for me.
