חֶלְקִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אָמַ֗רְתִּי לִשְׁמֹ֥ר דְּבָרֶֽיךָ׃
"C’est mon lot à moi, ô Éternel, me suis-je dit, d’observer tes paroles."
Ohr Ne'erav
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.
