To learn backwards, begin with praise. Here is my selection of all uses of praise (הלל) in the Psalter. (The little letters in red are the verse numbers - to help with counting and sequencing).
For vocabulary, you will have to go beyond praise, since praise as you can see from the graph, is highly weighted towards Book 5 of the psalter.

Fascinating. I'm still stuck on 150:1. But enjoying it. Your letter blocks are my bookmark.
I delight in your and my learning alike. I have forgotten how hard it was to get started! It look me years. So I hope some of my fun tools can help shorten the startup. I posted QD$ in the next post. The other words in 150:1 are rarer - expanse occurs elsewhere only in psalm 19:2. These things can also be learned using a tool like the blueletterbible - but what I find hard is to see the 'root' word in many places so I can get an idea of how the suffixes and prefixes work. My current task is to get an interactive search working so I can begin to read the same word in many different contexts. (Sometimes of course, it is not the same word - or it requires more filters which I apply 1 letter at a time.)
The 'mighty acts' is a tough one since the word GBR is also spelled GBVR and sometimes means just man rather than mighty. Remember I am learning too and will have made blunders - regard the blunders as part of the challenge.
More to come on this I hope.
