Kabbalah Mazmur 118:6: Zohar

יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י לֹ֣א אִירָ֑א מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לִ֣י אָדָֽם׃

Yang Mahakekal di pihakku, aku tidak akan takut; apa yang dapat dilakukan manusia terhadapku?

Zohar

How many people misunderstand this verse! They repeat the words, but the sense escapes them. Is the Holy One, blessed be He, the “King of the nations”? Is He not rather the King of Israel? Is it not written: “When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is his people” (Deut. 32, 8, 9), wherefore He is called the “King of Israel”? If the prophet here called God “King of the nations”, he would be praising them more than they praise themselves, for they only claim to be in the charge of His ministers and servitors.
