   The Definition of Man - A Poetic Paradox

   Rabbi Avi Baumol

   
   Mizmor 8 presents the paradox of man as insignificant versus man as the pinnacle of creation. The paradox exists in man’s perception of the surrounding universe giving him the confidence to do great things and also the humility to recognize his value.
    

2. Mizmor 40

   Rabbi Avi Baumol

   The first section of Mizmor 40, in which the poet addresses God in third person, is a 'Hymn of Gratitude'. In the second section, the poet addresses God directly with a request for help. In contrast to Mizmor 27, the poet makes his request with a sense of confidence that his prayers will be answered.
