There are no opening Inscriptions to either them ( 2 of 3 w/o)
The MSS ran all Psalms together, no chapter breaks, so considered as ONE chpt.

Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

PSALMS 1
Psalm 1 contrasts the END of one who LOVES God’s LAW to the END of one who is Ungodly
Deut. 11:26-28 26 “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
Joshua 1:8 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you[a] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
God never did away With the LAW when the New Covenant of GRACE was ushered in through Jesus sacrifice….THE LAW is GOOD &  to be followed The PSALMS testify to that…It’s just that under the covenant of Grace we appropriate/apply the Law in a NEW WAY!:-)
The Psalms are a Yeah  & AMEN to The Pentateuch
