well the Psalms are poetry but your goig to have to go back to the original hebrew inorder to understand the poetic devices

there are some good books by CH Spurgeon on this topic one is the Treasury of David which is a comentary on the Psalms and the other that may be of help (and is much shorter) is the Golden Alphabet

i know Spurgeon is prodestant but he is a good Theologian
