Chasidut su Salmi 118:24

In Noam Elimelekh, Likutei Shoshana, on the verse “This [zeh] is the day the Lord has made,”⁵⁴⁰Psalm 118:24. it says: We might posit that this is a hint of the twelve combinations of [the letters of the Tetragrammaton] YHV-H, which one must intend every day, all day.⁵⁴¹The numerical value of ‘zeh’ is twelve. Now at first glance [we might wonder,] does the combination not happen automatically as God has made them?⁵⁴²What need is there, then, for humans to effect the permutations and combinations? The master answers that the need is only to inject feelings of love and fear into the dynamic. Thus the first verse continues, “We will rejoice and be glad in it,” that is, the work is to inject love and fear into this intention.⁵⁴³For the permutations themselves are in actuality effected by God, as the verse declares “that God has made.” This implication here is that, to the contrary, one does not accomplish much through his mind’s intentions, for they exist on their own. Rather, the crux is [in] his love and fear. His kavannot only incline the vessels of the upper worlds in order to inject love and fear into them.
