Les Psaumes 89:3 Cabale : Sha'arei Orah

Now, because HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality of kindness-Chessed-חסד preceded the world, in that He did not create it out of any lacking on His part, but solely out of Kindness-Chessed-חסד, that is, solely to do good to His creatures and give them a portion and inheritance in accordance to His abundant mercies and kindnesses, therefore the verse states,³³Psalms 89:3 “For I said, ‘The world will be built on kindness-Chessed-חסד.’”

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.’”
