Pemikiran Yahudi Mazmur 11:5: Derashot HaRan

I understand the verse as follows: First it is written (Ibid 25): "And the L-rd showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters and the waters became sweet. There He made for Himself a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them." Now this "proof" needs explanation. For there is no question that proof serves one of two purposes: the good of the one being proved or the common good. The good of the one being proved: when the mind of the righteous man is of choice quality and he is steadfast in fear of the L-rd, the L-rd puts him to the proof so that his goodly thoughts may be translated into action. Therefore, He will test only that righteous man who can stand the test. This is the intent of (Psalms 11:5): "The L-rd tries the righteous," concerning which the Midrash states (Genesis Rabbah 32:3: Tanchuma Vayera 20): "The Creator does not test defective vessels which break as soon as He knocks upon them." The common good: that all see how far-reaching is love of the Blessed One in the hearts of those who love Him and use what they see as an example and a model for their own conduct. This and only this is the basis for G-d's proving someone. For there is no question that He does not prove one to determine if he can withstand the trial; for the Blessed One has complete and absolute fore-knowledge and entertains no doubts whatsoever. In the aforementioned trial, however, I find neither of these two purposes being served, but the very opposite! For those being tested derived no benefit from the test, but, to the contrary, were harmed by it, by not withstanding their trial and complaining against Moses our teacher, may peace be upon him; and, accordingly, the good of others was not hereby served in that they themselves could not withstand their trial!
