Salmi 118:5 Cabala: Shaarei Orah, Zohar, Or Neerav & Idra Zuta

From the narrow place I called to YAH; He answered me and brought me relief YAH.

One evil person in the world - how many other people are damaged by him! Oy to the evil person, and oy to that person's neighbors! Come and see, the prophet Yonah, since he did not want to do the mission of his Master, how many people were lost at sea because of him - until all turned against him and judged him with the judgment of the sea. And then they were all saved, and the Holy One of Blessing had pity on him after this, and saved many people in the world [Niniveh's people]. When? When he returned to his Master due to his suffering, as it is written "In my trouble I called Ad-nai, and He answered me" (Jonah 2:3) and also "In distress I called on Y-ah;He answered me with Y-ah's expansions" (Ps. 118:5).

For from the quarrelsome words of the immature grain, a thorn has spread among the brethren and rebellion like the sin of witchcraft (I Sam. 15:23). When the time comes she raises her wings on high (Job 39:18). God know the days of the perfect (Ps. 37:18) and the way of the righteous (Ps. 1:6), and raises up from the dust (Ps. 113:7) and the far distant sea (Ps. 65:6) all the souls of the house of Jacob (Gen. 46:27). They all eagerly desire to hear the word of God and the ancient records (I Chron. 4:22). However, [until] now they have not seen the clear light of [Him who dwells] in the skies. For from the top of the Rocks I see Him (Num. 23:9), and among those who turn the many to righteousness (Dan. 12:3) I behold Him. Grace is poured upon their lips (Ps. 45:3) like roses (Song 5:13). Their waters are more sure than the garden spring, a well of living waters (Song 4:15). Like doves [going] to their cotes (Isa. 60:8) they have drunk spices. They call to God, and He answers them (Ps. 99:6). This one says, I am the Lord’s (Isa. 44:5), answer me with broad spaces (Ps. 118:5), for my heart does not rest at night (Eccles. 2;23), nor does my spirit within me (Isa. 26:9). This one writes with his hand to the Lord (Isa. 44:5) from that which had preceded him [at] Sinai, and on the skins of kid goats (Gen. 27:16) they set up their signs (Ps. 74:4) which they wrote to instruct them for their generations, an eternal covenant (Exod. 31:16).
