Les Psaumes 35:22 Cabale : Sha'arei Orah

Now, because this Divine quality avenges breaches of the covenant- Nokemet Nekam Brit-נוקמת נקם ברית, and since King Saul did not completely execute its command,¹⁷⁴To destroy and eradicate Amalek (See Samuel I 15). he was rejected by it and it was given to David. It thus is called, The Kingdom of the House of David-Malchut Beit David-מלכות בית דוד. This Divine quality always accompanied David, fighting his battles, and vanquishing his foes. It is in regard to this that he said,¹⁷⁵Psalms 18:38-39 “I pursued my foes and overtook them, and did not return until they were destroyed. I struck them down and they could not rise, they fell beneath my feet.” It is to this Divine quality that David adhered, and it is from it that he inherited the Kingship-Malchut-מלכות. It is through it that he would supplicate and prostrate to HaShem-יהו״ה, as he states,¹⁷⁶Psalms 30:9 “To You, HaShem-יהו״ה, I would call, and to the Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י I would appeal.” It is with this quality that he would wage battle with his enemies, as he states,¹⁷⁷Psalms 35:23 “Arouse Yourself and awaken to my judgment; my God and Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, to my quarrel,” and similarly he states there,¹⁷⁸Psalms 35:22 “You have seen HaShem-יהו״ה, do not be mute; O Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, be not far from me.” It is to this quality that he yearned, as he states,¹⁷⁹Psalms 38:10 “O Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, to You is all my yearning,” and similarly he states,¹⁸⁰Psalms 38:16 “Because for You, HaShem-יהו״ה do I wait; You will answer, O Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, my God.” He likewise stated,¹⁸¹Psalms 39:8 “And now, for what do I hope, O Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י? My longing is to You.” In all his times of trouble, he would adhere to this Divine quality, as he states,¹⁸²Psalms 77:3 “On the day of my distress, I sought the Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י,” and similarly,¹⁸³Psalms 86:3 “Show me favor, O Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, for to You do I call all day long.” Thus, because this Divine quality is in exile together with the Jewish people, we recite,¹⁸⁴In the Amidah prayer liturgy. “May the Kingship of the House of David-Malchut Beit David-מלכות בית דוד, Your anointed one, be speedily restored to its place.”
