The references in the poem to enemies connects it generically with the supplications, but its leading edge is an affirmation of trust in God. This feeling is expressed with the most affecting simplicity, beginning here with the idea that in or through God the speaker\u2019s inner being (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nefesh<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) finds quiet, is at peace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, <em>The Hebrew Bible<\/em>, vol. 3: Writings, W.
