Where does “prayer” appear as title in the Psalter?

Psalm (Psaume) 17:1 (ESV)

1 Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!

The title prayer is also used for Psalm 86:1–17, Psalm 90:1–17, Psalm 102:1–28, and Psalm 142:1–7. But such psalms are no more prayers than many other psalms that lack this title yet are clearly still prayers (see Psalm 72:20).1
