This piyyut was written by Jacob bar Dunash bar Akiva for recitation on Rosh Hashanah. In it, Jacob expands upon a poem by Eleazar be-Rabbi Qillir that contrasts God (“the lofty king”) with an earthly ruler (“the wretched king”). This piyyut is structured around an acrostic. Each stanza is made up of five lines, each of which begins with the same letter. In order, those letters spell out Jacob bar Dunash. The technique of closing each stanza with a biblical verse had become very popular by the tenth century. (Information from Posen Library)
