Psalm 4 - David calls on God for his relief, but also chastises "you people" (the nation of Israel?) for seeking false God's.
Psalm 5 - this one has a theme of God's blessing on the righteous while God punishes the unrighteous
Psalm 6 - David is in pain and cries out to God. Some images he uses are that his bed is wet from tears and that his throat is sore from moaning.
Psalm 8 - David is in awe and in wonder at creation. The psalm praises God for the creation of humanity. It also describes human status - rulers of the earth, yet "a little lower than angels".
Psalm 9 - David praises God for giving victory for the righteous. David calls on God in a few times in the psalm, but the overall theme seems to be reminiscing of times that God rescued David. It also makes the curious statement that "the wicked go to the realm of the dead".
Psalm 11 - the theme is literal judgment by God and the consequence of how God sees individual people. The wicked get fiery coals but the righteous will "see his face".
