1. Mizmor 28

   Perspective Through the Eyes of the Psalmist

   Rabbi Avi Baumol

   Mizmor 28 begins with a cry to God to listen, a request and gratitude to God for listening. The request in this Mizmor is unique because David does not ask for God to defeat his enemies but to save him from being pulled in by wicked people who are less obvious enemies.

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.
