In the Torah and the [books of the] Prophets, God reaches out to man. The initiative is His. The message is His. He communicates, we receive. In the Psalms, human beings reach out to God. The initiative is human. The language is human. We make an effort to communicate. He receives. The human soul extends itself beyond its confining, sheltering, impermanent house of clay. It gropesfor an experience of the divine presence. Nahum Sarna Unique among liturgies in their singular blend of majestic grandeur, lofty sentiments, and poignant simplicity, the Psalms embrace virtually every basic human emotion and mood, always in the context of faith.
