Les Psaumes 86:2 Cabale : Sha'arei Orah

Now, because King David, peace be upon him, would draw the Upper Kindnesses from Above, which are called “good kindnesses-Chassadim Tovim-חסדים טובים,” and “first kindnesses-Chassadim Rishonim-חסדים ראשונים”, the verse therefore states,³³⁴Psalms 89:50 “Where are Your first kindnesses-Chassadecha HaRishonim-חסדיך הראשונים, Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, that you swore to David in Your faithfulness-b’Emunatecha-באמונתך.” David would therefore call himself by this title, as he said,³³⁵Psalms 86:2 “Guard my soul, for I am kind-Chassid-חסיד.” Now, because all the children of man are drawn from the quality of David, the verse therefore states,³³⁶Psalms 89:3 “For I have said, ‘The world is built with kindness-Chessed-חסד.’”
