Psalms 119:57 Kabbalah: Or Neerav

חֶלְקִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אָמַ֗רְתִּי לִשְׁמֹ֥ר דְּבָרֶֽיךָ׃

HETH. My portion is the LORD, I have said that I would observe Thy words.

Or Neerav

Similarly, King David, peace upon him, stated, You, God, are my portion, I have promised to keep Your word (Ps. 119:57). This means that, in order to keep the word of God, I may not abase myself. Concerning this it is said, Do not be overly righteous (Eccles. 7:16). I, however, declare that God is my portion. My soul has a portion in God on high, and I am as worthy of the word of God as one of the ministering angels.
