Salmi 119:18 Cabala: Zohar & Or Neerav

Come and behold, when Solomon unsuccessfully tried to understand the words and subtleties of the Torah, he said, "I said, 'I will be wise'; but it was far from me" (Kohelet 7:23). David said, "Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of Your Torah" (Tehilim 119:18). Come and behold, it is written of Solomon that he "spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his poems were 1,005" (I Kings 5:12). This is because there were 5,000 interpretations of each proverb he told. If this is true of the words of Solomon, who was flesh and blood, how many proverbs, chants, praises, mysteries, and wise thoughts are contained in the words of the Torah, as spoken by the Holy One, blessed be He? Therefore, it is written, "Who can utter the mighty acts of Hashem."

It was in this connection that David said, Open my eye that I may behold wondrous things out of your Torah (Ps. 119:18), [meaning] that which is under the garment is really Torah.

Therefore the story of the Torah constitutes its garment. He who thinks that the garment is actually the Torah and and not something else, let his spirit deflate and let him have no portion in the world-to-come. It was in this connection that David said, Open my eye that I may behold wondrous things out of your Torah (Ps. 119:18), [meaning] that which is under the garment is really Torah.
