sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: David praises God for bending down to him with gentle care, so that his greatness comes from God's humility. Interpretation: The tradition notes that God is high yet cares for the lowly, and teaches humility as a trait to copy; the Hebrew can also be read as God's "answering" or "humbleness."
