Chasidut su Salmi 92:16
לְ֭הַגִּיד כִּֽי־יָשָׁ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה צ֝וּרִ֗י וְֽלֹא־עלתה [עַוְלָ֥תָה] בּֽוֹ׃
Dichiarare che l'Eterno è retto, My Rock, in cui non c'è ingiustizia.

Armed with this insight, the psalm continues, Le-haggid ki yashar Hashem, all will be able “to testify that God is just” (Ps. 92:16).293The Hebrew yashar is here translated as “just.” In truth, yashar means “straight” and “orderly.” The meaning of “straight” will also bring us to a conclusion similar to what was advanced in the text.
God’s name of being, Y-H-V-H, is the source of existence. The letters in this name can be rearranged in twelve different ways: YHVH, YHHV, YVHH, HVHY, HVYH, HHVY, VHYH, VHHY, VYHH, HYHV, HYVH, and HHYV.
These letter arrangements correspond to the twelve months and the twelve tribes of Israel. Different letter arrangements represent distinct spiritual influ-ences. Some months are times of blessings; others are times of harsh justice. The nature of the month is hinted in its letter pattern. The month with the most Divine blessings is the first month, Nisan. Nisan begins springtime when nature is reborn, its weather is usually pleasant, and Jewry was born (through the exodus from Egypt) during that month. The letter arrangement of Nisan is Y-H-V-H; the letters of this name are in their straightest and most fitting order. Other months were times of Divine harshness—their letter arrangements are relatively disorderly. In the future we will say that God is yashar, “straight,” for we will then see how all experiences were blessings like the exodus from Egypt (Rav Wolfson’s classes on prayer).
