Kommentar zu Tehillim 32:6
עַל־זֹ֡את יִתְפַּלֵּ֬ל כָּל־חָסִ֨יד ׀ אֵלֶיךָ֮ לְעֵ֪ת מְ֫צֹ֥א רַ֗ק לְ֭שֵׁטֶף מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים אֵ֝לָ֗יו לֹ֣א יַגִּֽיעוּ׃
Deshalb soll jeglicher Fromme zu dir beten zur Zeit, wo du zu finden bist: dass die mächtigen Gewässer, wenn sie einherfluten, ihn nicht treffen.
Rashi on Psalms
at the time that You are found When You are found to accept his prayer, and what is this?...only about a flood of vast waters that they should not reach him, that he should not fall into the hands of enemies, who are like flooding waters. And so we find that David prayed for this and said (II Sam. 24: 14): “Let us fall now into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great; but into the hand of man let me not fall.”
