sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Psalms, the praise of babies and sucklings shows that God's strength is shown through the weak. In the other verses they are victims of war and hunger. Interpretation: Tradition reads the psalm to mean that even tiny children praise God. Rabbinic stories link it to the children at the Red Sea.
