Nearly sixty percent of the Psalms are laments! Although most of the biblical laments can be found in the Psalms, there are other examples in both the Old and the New Testament. Moreover, the Psalms themselves are alluded to in other places in scripture, for example Jesus references Psalm 22 while on the cross, “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?”
