Rather, the poet uses מה, the pronoun normally reserved for inanimate objects. The resulting connotation is derisive: 'What are measly human beings...?'"'"`UNIQ--ref-00000F8E-QINU`"' "The interrogative pronoun מה that occurs in the first and last lines of the psalm, occurs here in the middle of the psalm. The result is a poetic echo between the start, middle, and end of the psalm."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000F8F-QINU`"' "Thus vv. 5 and 6 form the central point of the psalm."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000F90-QINU`"'</br>*'''v.2c.''' אֲשֶר as a relative is somewhat awkward as the antecedent would be either the pronominal suffix on שִׁמךָ or the vocative יהוה אדנינו. It is quite possible that אֲשֶׁר is a causal conjunction (LXX: ὅτι).'"`UNIQ--ref-00000F91-QINU`"' "The start of the body of the proper is striking as the first word of strophe 2 is the relative pronoun. This means there is a certain enjambment on the transition from envelope to the body of the poem, but that is neither unique nor illegal. Beginning a strophe with אשׁר is uncommon, but it does happen elsewhere: Pss.71:20, 89:22a and 105:9a."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000F92-QINU`"' Note the [[#Similar sounds in adjacent lines|phonological connection]] between אשׁר and ארץ, which might explain this unexpected use of אשׁר.</br>*'''v.4a.''' כִּי is cataphoric; v.4ab forms the protasis and v.5ab the apodosis. "Instead of the apodosis ''I exclaim'' which we should expect, the exclamation itself follows."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000F93-QINU`"'elf follows."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000F93-QINU`"'
