Pemikiran Yahudi Mazmur 37:6: Words

וְהוֹצִ֣יא כָא֣וֹר צִדְקֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטֶ֗ךָ כַּֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃

Ia akan membuat kebenaranmu bersinar seperti terang, dan keadilanmu seperti tengah hari.

Words of Peace and Truth

He showed them a better way and ordered them to establish schools where their children can learn to read and write German and to write books of moral instruction consistent with the Torah to teach our youth knowledge about and customs of the land. However, mathematics, geometry, astronomy, and so forth, as well as history geography, will be taught using the existing books, which the other students in the kingdom use, for these academic subjects do not involve matters of faith, and everyone agrees on their content. All this will strengthen the House of Israel and will repair the breaches caused by earlier rulers as mentioned above in Chapter III. And thus, Jews will also become leaders, helping the kingdom in its actions, labor and wisdom. Happy is the king who acts this way, for God has chosen him to do righteousness and goodness, and God wants to effect salvation in His world through such king. Of him it can be said, “Many have done great things, but you excel above them all” (Cf. Proverbs 31:29). True heroism is when a man rules over his own spirit by removing from his heart thoughts and ideas that he was raised with, which many generations succeeded in implanting in the hearts of the multitudes. He in his great wisdom overcame them and “brought forth his righteousness like the light and his judgment like the noonday” (Psalms 37:6). He turned hearts, mediating peace and love among people. As Solomon in his wisdom said, “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.” (Proverbs 16:32.) May God be with this great King and fulfill his purpose and protect him from all harm. May the building of wisdom that he is creating be a coveted model for all the kings of the earth to increase peace in the world. May his name be magnified, may all nations praise him, and may his reward be preserved forever.
