Les Psaumes 104:1 Cabale : Zohar, Reshit Chokhmah & Sha'arei Orah

Then the old man expounded in connection with the subject of the soul and her garment the words: “And Moses went into the midst of the cloud and got him up into the mount” (Ex. 24, 18). ‘Now what does the cloud signify?’ he asked, and answered his own question, saying: ‘There is a reference here to the words: “I set my bow in the cloud”: namely, the rainbow, in reference to which we have learnt that it removed, as it were, its outer garment and gave it to Moses, who went up to the mountain with it and saw through it all the sights with which he was feasted there.’ When the ancient one had reached this point he paused, and the two rabbis prostrated themselves before him, wept and said: ‘Had we come into this world only in order to hear these thy words from thy mouth it were sufficient.’

360. Another explanation for “Gird your sword.” It means expedite and strengthen yourself, overpower your Evil Inclination, which is your sword “upon your thigh,” upon that Holy Covenant, to guard it. If he guards it, then he is called ‘mighty’. And the Holy One, blessed be He, dresses him in His garments. What are the garments of the Holy One, blessed be He? They are Hod and Netzach, as is written: “You are clothed with glory and majesty” (Tehilim 104:1). Here also, “Your glory and your majesty.” Then the person cleaves unto the Holy King properly. 361. From here on: “I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon Egypt; for I am Hashem your healer.” From this article we learn the matter of guarding the Brit from the 4 we mentioned.

Whosoever is not cautious of Torah scholars, or of HaShem’s-יהו"ה victory-Netzach and majesty-Hod, is worthy of being bitten by a snake, as they said,⁸³See Talmud Bavli, Brachot 4b; Shabbat 110a. “Whosoever transgresses the words of Torah scholars is liable to the death penalty and is worthy of being bitten by a snake.” Know therefore, that when HaShem’s-יהו"ה Divine quality of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י is donned with majesty-Hod-הוד, it is victorious in all the battles of Israel. Judgments are then exacted upon those who attack us, and retribution is poured upon the enemies of our souls. We therefore must offer thanks-Hoda’ah-הודאה to He who garbs Himself in majesty-Hod-הוד and is victorious in battle. This is the meaning of the verse,⁸⁴Psalms 104:1 “You have donned majesty-Hod-הוד and glory-Hadar-הדר.” Moreover, about this we recite,⁸⁵In the liturgy of the Yishtabach blessing. “God, worthy of thanks-Hoda’ot-הודאות, Master of wonders-Nifla’ot-נפלאות.” Therefore, wherever [in scripture or in the liturgy] you find expressions of thanks and submission-Hoda’ah-הודאה, contemplate and realize that it is related to this place.
